Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. (lemmy.ml)

So I want to setup a remote backup location at my parents house although they are very mindful about there electricity usage and environmental impact (and so am I) so I don't want to have to have a pc always on when it doesn't need to be.

Is it possible to setup remote Wake-on-lan so I can schedule my homelab at my place to wake up the server at my parents house and start a backup like once a week, I want to do this in a secure fashion as well so ideally no port forwarding, I currently use cloudflare tunnels for my home network.

Are there any other options or do you have a similar setup at your place?

Sure, but you can't access your home network anyway if your router is turned off...

of course but most routers won't do anything like this. and by router I mean the all in one devices people have, not enterprise gear.

Asus routers, even my 15 year old tplink archer A7 could

with factory firmware?

Yep, openvpn with factory firmware. It even had a (limited) choice DDNS services for self hosting, on a cheap consumer router. I could never figure out if NAT hairpinning worked though.

Almost all routers have an "advanced" section where you get a lot if these nice options.

I have only bought a ubiquiti device in the last few years though, so I guess it is possible that routers have been enshittified like a lot of tech products with features locked behind a paywall.
