[Feature request]: Ability to provide custom WakeOnLan port values #1542

Description

@Codrax

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

Currently, when using the "Wake-On-LAN" feature, the wake request is sent on port 9, but some networks, such as mine, for diverse reasons do not allow using that port, but allow other ports such as 7, 8, 10, ...

Also for local networks with multiple PCs with a router that does not allow forwarding port 9 to the internal broadcast address.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to provide which port to use for each PC would be a very useful feature for this scenario, also for networks where more than one remote PC is configured, and the router does not allow port forwarding to the broadcast address XX.XX.XX.255, so having a separate wake-on-lan port for each PC would be a must, which is a large amount of local networks as most routers do indeed NOT allow such a forwarding configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Viable options:

  • Multiple ports, which would need this feature
  • Port forwarding to broadcast address (unsupported on most routers)
