The tunnel is what makes it possible to connect networks
with private IP addresses via the Internet. Moreover, the tun-
nel secures the connection.
The VPN solution used with the FRITZ!Box uses the IPSec tun-
nel protocol.
IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art encryp-
tion procedures and can be integrated seamlessly into exist-
ing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is used in the
FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is currently the most modern en-
cryption algorithm.

Supplementary Software for VPN
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configu-
ration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive
this file.
If an individual computer is integrated into a network via a
VPN, the computer must have a VPN client installed.

The “FRITZ!Box VPN” Configuration Wizard
AVM provides the “FRITZ!Box VPN” software for creating
configuration files. This program is a Wizard that takes you
step by step through the VPN configuration. All of the nec-
essary VPN settings, like the encryption method and ac-
cess rules, are set automatically. The resulting configura-
tion files must be imported to the respective terminals of
the VPN tunnel. At the terminal with the FRITZ!Box the con-
figuration file is then imported to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN
parameters in these files can be adjusted manually to con-
nect to products by other manufacturers.

The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN Client
AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.
Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of
charge from the VPN Service Portal on the AVM web site:
