Wake my PC remotely
DetailModern PCs may support wake-on-lan (wikipedia link) if you are using an ethernet chipset that supports this. You may have to enable WOL in your BIOS or Network card BIOS. Your PC turns itself on when it receives a special packet. All you need do is specify your public IP address, and your PC hardware MAC address. This can be found by using ipconfig command for windows, or ifconfig for Linux or networksetup for OSX
