July 10, 20223 yr Hello, thanks for reading my post. I appreciate your help. Main point: I need to set up Wake On Lan (from shutdown) for my Unraid server. I will be traveling for a few months in Europe, and I need access to my Unraid server. It would be nice if power outages weren't a thing where I live, but unfortunately, they are. They happen about once a week during the summer due to heat waves. I have the pre-requisite hardware that supports WOL, most importantly the NIC. Additionally, I can VPN into my home network to send the WOL signal. I have tried multiple guides out there, including: https://engineerworkshop.com/blog/remote-start-for-servers-how-to-set-up-wake-on-lan/ & I have successfully woken up my server from sleep using the above guide "***Guide*** Setup WOL for UNRAID" but again, this is only WOL from sleep. I need to WOL from complete shutdown. Has anyone successfully implemented WOL from shutdown on their Unraid server? Do you know of a guide that can help with this process? Thank you!

After some researching, I've decided to go with a physical method for turning on the server. I bought a SwitchBot remote switch with the SwitchBot hub (for around $65 usd) so I can activate the switch via the cloud using IFTTT or Shortcuts. Works like a charm!
