Well it's a magic packet, coming from a website, or from a script run locally on the n900. (dslreports.com is one website which will send a magic packet via the internet)

The question though is will a router with VPN pass through for several protocols, allow me to set the n900 up on the LAN as a local machine to that LAN?

I was under the impression the router needed to be able to run as a VPN server and not just as a passthrough.

Blubbi: I'm using the DGL-4500, and I'm not sure their is a firmware for it outside of D-links. Would be nice, but d-links firmware is pretty complete, outside of the ability to send a magic packet.

THe other option of ssh'ing to another computer, would mean that this computer would need to be on all the tiem, which kind of defeats the purpose.
