AnyDesk is a remote access program that enables users to access customer devices at any time, even if the customer is not around. This feature is particularly useful for IT support teams who need to provide quick and efficient remote support, as well as for professionals who want to access their work computers from their personal laptops at home. However, it is unclear whether AnyDesk can wake up a sleeping computer and return it to a sleep state on disconnect. While AnyDesk does provide unattended access, this feature is disabled by default and requires a password to be set up.

TeamViewer's Wake-on-LAN support
Note that it's not possible to wake up a Mac computer that is fully powered down, as Apple doesn't allow this. Macs can only be woken up from sleep mode. However, Windows and Linux PCs can be woken up from sleep and hibernation mode, as well as fully powered down, so long as the hardware supports this.
To use Wake-on-LAN, you need to ensure that the computer is connected to a power source, that it has an internet connection, and that the computer's network card supports Wake-on-LAN. You can check the Wake-on-LAN compatibility of your computer via the Powershell. The command sudo ethtool eth0 provides information about this. If the letter g is listed in the section supports Wake-on, the functionality is available.
