How do I prevent unauthorized users from waking up machines?

0

Without 1E WakeUp, because Magic Packets themselves do not have any kind of security, if the unauthorized users are on the local network, or are able to send directed broadcasts into the network you cannot prevent them from waking up PCs by sending their own Magic Packets. If you are using 1E WakeUp in a Master/ Agent configuration, communication can be encrypted by installing the services using full encryption mode, see The Installation Guide for more details. This will prevent unauthorised users from gaining information about the network when using 1E WakeUp.
