          <p>mRemoteNG is a fork of mRemote: an open source, tabbed, multi-protocol, remote connections manager for Windows. mRemoteNG creates a tabbed interface for RDP, VNC, SSH and many other connection protocols.&nbsp;</p>

</ol>

<p>Wake on LAN is very useful functionality if your hardware supports it. Here is a good tutorial on the steps required to enable WOL on a device. This typically needs to be enabled in the BIOS as well as on the network interface inside the operating system.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800" target="_blank">https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800</a></p>
