Can I use Firewalla to send a WOL command from outside network?

I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. I can send a WOL inside my network to wake a PC but can't get it to work when outside the network. I can vpn in on the firewalla vpn, but the wol command doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if the "etherwake" command could be run from the box?

  Andy, since etherwake sends a broadcast packet, it will be unlikely to be routed from the VPN to the LAN. However, you can install etherwake on the Firewalla and run the etherwake command via ssh.

  Is there a guide on how to configure etherwake on the firewalla? Really missing the WOL feature that I was using on my old router
