The configuration files for the VPN connections are created
using a separate program. The program is provided free of
charge and can be downloaded from the AVM web site.

A free VPN client for individual computers can also be
downloaded from the AVM web site.
The AVM web site offers a Service Portal which presents com-
prehensive information on VPN in general and in connection
with the FRITZ!Box. Visit this portal to obtain more detailed in-
formation.

“Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard
AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN” software
for creating configuration files. This program is a Wizard
that takes you step by step through the VPN configura-
tion. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the encryp-
tion method and access rules, are set automatically. The
resulting configuration files must be imported to the re-
spective terminals of the VPN tunnel. At the terminal
with the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported
to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN parameters in these files can
be adjusted manually to connect to products by other
manufacturers.
