Yes, you cannot send RPC traffic over the Internet. You would have to use a VPN or some way to connect the remote devices.

As for WOL, those are "broadcast" messages and they too cannot be sent over the Internet without special handling. I have a program called "agent" which can run on the remote network, listens for incoming wol messages, and broadcasts them on your LAN. Router and firewall must be setup to support this.
