Need to set up Wake-on-LAN to turn on PC from outside the network (foreign country)

Post Body

Hello everybody! I'm moving abroad to pursue my undergrads, and I have my PC back here at home. I also have my laptop, which I will be taking abroad, and this is the laptop/device i'll be using to use WOL to wake my PC. My has all my important files and everything, which may need to be accessed while I'm not here. I have Remote Desktop set up, but I'll need to turn my PC on so I need Wake on Lan, to be working for me from a foreign network. Here's info on my router and PC's motherboard, to which I'm plugged in via ethernet cable from my home router.

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-f Gaming

Router: TPLink Archer C6

I have Power-on by PCIE (Wake on Lan) enabled in BIOS, and also in windows network interface settings, and also set all other necessary settings to their right modes as required by WOL.

Now firstly, I've tried using Teamviewer WOL to get my pc to start using a device inside the network and it works. However, I need it to be accessible/Woken on Lan from outside the network. Can anyone help me set WOL properly to wake/turn on my PC from outside the network? It can be TeamViewer or anything else, I just need it to work. I have about 12 days before I leave, hopefully i can sort this out before then.

Additionally, I have also set up DDNS on my router at *****.tplinkdns.com, the domain having been provided to my from my router itself. I just don't know how to use it for WOL, and not Remote Desktop.

Any help would be HIGHLY, HIGHLY appreciated!
