How to use Raspberrypi VPN server to wake up other computer
Problem I need to be able to power-on my Theatre PC remotely and securely over my VPN at home. Solution I have already an OpenVPN server installed on Raspberrypi so I just need to install wakeonlan command on Raspbian via the following command: sudo apt install wakeonlan and use the following command to wake up any computer: wakeonlan TheMacAddressOfTheComputerToWakeUp However I'd also like to create a command-shortcut for wakeonlan-theater-pc so I can edit the hidden .bashrc file using the nano editor via the following command: nano .bashrc and scroll to the bottom of the file then type the following alias followed by Ctrl-X to exit and save the changes. alias wakeonlan-theatre-pc='wakeonlan TheMacAddressOfTheComputerToWakeUp ' Finish... all good and it should wake up my computer when I type on the terminal: wakeonlan-theatre-pc
