Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

when im on a different network from my home network: on the official moonlight application, I can wake up my computer at home by just right-clicking the pc, and waking it up. with the moonlight switch app, the only way to wake it up when im not home is by remote accessing another computer in the house and waking it up from there.

Describe the solution you'd like

being able to wake my computer up directly from the moonlight switch app

Describe alternatives you've considered

the only other way to do it when im not home is by RDP'ing into another computer at home and waking it up, or just opening my laptop and using the official moonlight app and waking it up from there.

WOL remote wake-up is implemented through a magic packet with a LAN broadcast address with the MAC address of the specified device, so it is not available on the WAN. You can check if your router supports WOL, If you have NAS, you can use docker to deploy chishin/wol-go-web:latest for WOL, which is what I'm currently using.

You need a magic packet sender within the LAN, such as a router. I'm also curious about how the official moonlight application implements this feature.
