A new release of Turn On is available. With this release you can now set the target address to send the magic Wake On LAN packet to for each device. This enables wake ups over IPv6 and supports more complicated networking scenarios. Previously Turn On always used the standard IPv4 broadcast address on port 9 which is still the default.
Turn On is a small GNOME utility to turn on remote systems such as NAS devices with Wake On LAN magic packets. It’s available from Flathub.
This new release brings several bug fixes and additions to the Python API and code editor, that improve the user and learning experience. Additionally, it has upgraded its GNOME runtime for stability and performance.
