Just have a look for how to set up a home SSH server. I have never messed around with SSH or anything but if I can get this to work I will try that as well. You can then port forward to this new spoofed broadcast address of 192.168.1.254. On others you may be able to add it to the arp table directly via something like: arp -i int0 -s 192.168.1.254 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF On some devices simply created a static DHCP lease for this IP/MAC combo (any hostname) is sufficient. 255) to the MAC address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. an IP address to which the router will allow a port forward as opposed to. effectively you need to 'map' a new IP address of, say, 192.168.1.25 4 (i.e. Some more info on how to spoof a new broadcast IP would be helpful. My main router doesn't support any other firmware and doesn't support FreeDNS, and won't let me use the broadcast IP. Running dyndns client on there with it obtaining the 'real' public IP via en external query is correct and will work. My secondary router has the option to do the latter (it's acting as an Ethernet bridge though). For me I find that the ideal sweet spot of security and usability. That's obviously super-secure providing you have your SSH config logged down (public key auth etc). What I've always done for WOL is have my router contain the wakeonlan binary and have an SSH session on my phone which is preconfigured to connect home (via the dyndns, say) then run the correct wol command and exit. However although that is convenient I just don't like the thought of having WOL open to the internet at large (although seeing as there is no reply from the port, using a non-standard port here is one version of 'security through obscurity' that is actually perfectly fine). It is possible to have WOL port-forwarded directly form internet into your LAN but some firmware won't allow you to forward to the broadcast address so you need to 'spoof' a new broadcast address by mapping that magic MAC address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) to a different IP and forwarding to that. If you can do the latter then the Dyn client can run anywhere on your network, not necessarily on your 'main' router.Īlso some advice on WOL. I'm not sure about Tomato but certainly on DDWRT there is config as to whether to use the interface IP, or the public IP as determined by querying an external website. Not sure you can send one over the internet, but do try. Normally you need to connect to a device that is capable of sending a magic packet, like a server or an enterprise-lite router like a EdgeRouter Lite or Mikrotik. Do you know if this works already? You don't need to have DDNS installed to test it, you can do it via phone connected to 3/4G. Now, for magic packet / wake on lan, you said via teamviewer. This is what I think they actually have done. Basically if they never thought that the router doing the DDNS could be a secondary one, then they might have just set it to "pick your wan IP address and send it to DDNS provider".
Now, the issue is how the tomato software was coded to do this. After all it's a service and it just sends info out to the DDNS provider. I am not sure if you need the internet facing router to be the one that manages DDNS, it does stand to reason, but I also could not think of any reason why it could not be managed by another device behind the router, like another router or a PC. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
