Feature request: Sleep-on-LAN UDP broadcasts

There are two projects, using the same network packets, but with the reverse function.

  • https://github.com/SR-G/sleep-on-lan
  • https://github.com/philipnrmn/sleeponlan

By the essence of UDP broadcast they lack authentication and that is a big NO for many environments. But for trusted environments, like some small home IoT appliance, ability to skip all authentication frameworks and credentials would be handy.

What an interesting concept.

I wonder if there is some fairly straightforward way to include some type of authentication?
