Hey!
I use a OpenVPN Server that doesn't have to run all the time, so I want it to go into Windows Standby after 20min of idle. Work's fine.
The Problem is: Can't wake up the server by connecting with any OpenVPN Client, cause the Server doesn't wake up.
Energy-/WOL -Settings seem to be right, Server wakes up by telnet at Port 1194 (OpenVPN).
I don't understand why wakeup works with telnet, but not with clients that want to connect to that Socket. 🙁
Any Idea? 🙂

Ok - I found out that it works with TCP, but not with UDP.
Is it possible, that Win7 Workstations wake up at TCP Connection establishments, but not when receiving any UDP Packet?
Another Problem is that my server immediatly wakes up after going in standby-mode, because the clients reset the TCP connection. Couldn't find out how to disable auto-reset of the TCP Connection at the Client's conf?!
Is there a config-keyword to realize that, or any way to do it with UDP? .. OpenVPN HowTo says you should avoid using TCP, are there any big disadvantages?
