"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality."

-Carl Sagan
This is very likely just a "I'm dumb with technology issue". I'm trying to set up WOL on my PC so when I'm out on work trips I can remote in and use Steam via my iPad. I downloaded MochaWOL on my phone and set it up per the guide, with my IP and my MAC address, but it looks like I can only get the "Wake Up" feature on Mocha to work when I'm connected to my home internet. It will not work when I'm using my phone's data or on a separate Wi-Fi. My current ideal setup:

1. Wake computer from powered down or sleep setting
2. Chrome Remote Desktop in to log into my PC
3. Switch to SteamLink because the interface is better (but won't actually let me use the keyboard to log in unless I'm sitting at the PC and give it permission)

Will MochaWOL let me do this? Is there another iOS app (paid or free) that will let me do remote WOL after which I can use my PC? Is there a better setup than the one I'm using?
