Making a Wake-on-LAN server using Tailscale, UpSnap, and Raspberry Pi

SMRTR summary

A Raspberry Pi with Tailscale and UpSnap can wake up sleeping devices remotely through Wake-on-LAN. This solution bridges the gap between Tailscale (which operates on network Layer 3) and WoL packets (which work on Layer 2), allowing users to power on computers from anywhere without physical access. The setup requires minimal hardware, offers a simple web interface, and can be accessed through a browser on any Tailscale-connected device.
