Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It related to the Wake On Lan issue. I found that Wake on Internet solution in Moonlight so complicated. If using Wake On Lan button, it work on Lan but not work when I stay outside my house. When outside, MoonLight will send destination IP Address with Ipv4 Lan or IPv6. It couldn't be understood by internet router.

Describe the solution you'd like

Wake on Internet solution in Moonlight so complicated. With my idea, we should create a Wake On Wan in menu. In user's router will config NAT port 9 to forward Magic packet from Internet. Wake On Wan function will send Magic Packet with destination IP is user's IP WAN. I have tried with 3rd app and it work ok. I think if we add this function on Moonlight it will be valuable.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing Wake On LAN menu path and network behavior, then determine how a Wake On WAN action should use the user's WAN address and forward a magic packet through port 9. Done means the function is available from the Moonlight menu and works for the described outside-the-home setup.
