That looks like a smartphone app. Are you sure your smartphone is connected to cellular only?

Ok i have it working. I went through cloudflare and nginx proxy manager which is how I access my backend servers. All is good. Thanks you sir.

There must be an issue or a block with my Asus router ddns name.

Appreciate all your help

P.S. By default, the DHCP server places x.x.x.254 in the DHCP pool of available addresses. Be sure to change the ending IP to something else, like x.x.x.253.

So edit what I have done bust just change port forward and the script to. 253?

No. What I'm saying is that this WOL configuration necessarily reserves the 10.10.20.254 ip address. You can't allocate it to some actual device! If 10.10.20.254 is in the DHCP pool, you risk that happening, which will break the WOL configuration. 10.10.20.254 has to be *excluded* from the DHCP pool.

Ahh OK, I see. I manually assign devices their ip address and will be sure to stay clear of. 254

Hi again.. So it turns out that my Cloudflare container is on the Unraid server which communicates my wan ip address, so once the server is shut down the container stops communicating doh.

I have a raspberry pi that is on 24/7, could that turn the Unraid server on at all?

Thanks.
