Online-Status uses wrong IP to check #216

I've got a remote location with the WOL agent set up on a server. WOL 2.12.14 is installed on my local machine, the host entry for the remote machine has the IP of the server machine set in the "Wakeup" tab -> FQDN/IP. And it has the remote machines LAN IP in the Status/Control tab. I can wake up the remote machine with this setup.

My issue: the remote machine is always shown as "Online", because WOL seems to use the status of the WoL relay server for this status. The IP in the Status/Control tab is not used for this check. If I put the LAN IP of the remote machine into the field "FQDN/IP", the status is picked up correctly, but of course I can't wake up the machine anymore.

Yes, you are correct. Online status check does not work through the WOL proxy agent. That's a great idea and it is possible, but the program does not do this at this time. Sorry.
