    OMG it's working finally but not by port forward.

    I am using router build in VPN + openVPN +  tool in windows call wakemeonlan. Everything is working now even though i am not able to make it work on iOS. I try all the WOL app + openVPN on my iphone but nothing works so far. Anyway thanks for you help.
