    How so? Do you think it would fit better into serverfault? You can generally turn on every kind of computer over the network, after all.

    I asked this questions looking for suggestions from the Stackexchange community. I have seen a few tools online, I just wanted to see the community suggestions. My only doubt before asking was whether asking for suggestions is off topic in SuperUser

    According to my interpretation of superuser.com/help/on-topic - IMHO it's a product recommendation

    @sinni800 (And more recent viewer). Product recommendations have never been on topic here, but there is now an SE site dedicated to that.

    classic stackexchange ANSWER! - and now Q is number 1 result on google itself - but Q is closed - in typical manner - and possible other or even better windows WOL utilities are inhibited in their spread - congrats again stackexchange system and its notorious moderators

    @haemse sounds like it's a great time for you to go and ask the question on the software recommendations stack exchange and create some new content for people who are looking for recommendations for Wake On Lan utilities for Windows

    @haemse We're all struggling to understand the world together, and this answer happens to be useful, while falling short of the ideal. The key is to do better in the future. Don't intentionally break the community rules simply because it can sometimes be useful to do so, especially since there is now a better option: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com
