For that, get your router to do it for you. I was able to modify the firmware on my old linux based router and someone had made a toolchain so I was able to compile a wol program for the router and reflash the firmware.

What I did was to have it set so I could access web interface from the internet (not restricted to LAN only), set up a dyndns account using the router's internal feature for dyndns, and I'd access the router from the dyndns address and type the the ip of the computer and the router would do it.
