    It really depends on what you want to do.

    One common way to remotely turn on your is through Wake-on-Lan but this required your network driver support it and you could send specific package to turn on your PC.

    In case you want to use Wake-on-Lan be careful of configuration and make sure setup your network to only allow this feature from authorized users.

  • Physical or virtual machine? For the former Dell idrac or HP ILo could work. For the latter you can do via the hypervisor.
