Raspberry Pi activation for LAN using TeamViewer
Raspberry Pi activation for LAN using TeamViewer
Hello! I completed a small project using a Raspberry Pi and TeamViewer. It’s a simple way to always have a reliable wake-on-lan connection, without needing to open ports on your router, keeping things secure. The PC running Windows or macOS should have its network card set up to work with Wake-On-Lan Raspberry Pi. Recently, some updates were recommended, so it’s a good idea to create a TeamViewer account for convenient access. You can download the software from their website and note your TeamViewer ID (9-Didgets) later. Once installed, you’ll find the Wake-On-Lan option in the settings under General. Choose “Other TeamViewer” in your local network, enter the ID from your Raspberry Pi, click Add, and confirm. This information will be saved on TeamViewer’s servers to relay the wake-up package through your Raspberry Pi. Finally, to activate Wake-On-Lan, open the BIOS of your main computer, enable Wake-On-Lan, save changes, and exit. The system should now boot from TeamViewer by pressing the power button. This is what I experienced during the process.
I don't have specific preferences, but a suitable Raspberry Pi for your project could be the Raspberry Pi 4 or the Raspberry Pi 3, depending on your needs in terms of processing power and connectivity.
Another value could suffice. You also don’t have to rely on TeamViewer. I previously used a pi for this, connected via SSH, executed a WOL script, and the target PC would power on. https://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan There’s a package called wakeonlan that’s straightforward to install and operate.
