I was thinking of filtering by packet length. Since I am the only one knowing the magic length and so if someone wants to do a port scan, it is unlikely he is going to try 65496 different packet length for each port.... Tho, somehow, I don't see the traffic coming in in dmesg, which the script...

Yeah, agree. So I was asking for a way to filter out port scanning. :)

Yeah people expressed the same concern in this forum about the script (which I use) on Merlin's wiki page. And the users' counter-argument is that the machine being waken up will deal with the security issue, which I think is acceptable. Because if there is a security hole on the machine, when...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the script in the router will send a magic packet for WOL. However, I am worry that someone on the internet will do a port scan on my public IP, and the scan will trigger the Wake-on-WAN (not WOL), which indirectly triggers WOL.

It turned out my stupid mistake -- after upgrading, I asked for "rebuilding" /jffs partition and so everything is gone. So far, no one scans the port of my router yet and so everything looks fine. I wonder how the machine can prevent from being waken up due to a random port scan? Thanks!

Thanks Colin! I installed the latest version on my 68U. Looks good. But when I use my web browser to access the private IP and port in specified in my script (based on Merlin's WIKI -- I only updated IP, PORT, and MAC in the script), it still doesn't wake up my computer. First I thought I...

I read the instruction about setting up Wake on WAN here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/WOL-Script-Wake-Up-Your-Webserver-On-Internet-Traffic Few questions: 1. Does it really require Merlin firmware? Because jffs partition is already there, and I checked /usr/sbin/ether-wake is...
