Supplementary Software for VPN
IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art en-
cryption procedures and can be integrated seamlessly
into existing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is
used in the FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is the most mod-
ern encryption algorithm.
5.4 Supplementary Software for VPN
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a con-
figuration 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 “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN” soft-
ware for creating configuraiton files. This program is
a wizard that takes you step by step through the VPN
configuration. All of the necessary VPN settings, like
the encryption method and access rules, are set au-
tomatically. The resulting configuration files must be
imported to the respective terminals of the VPN tun-
nel. At the terminal with the FRITZ!Box the configura-
tion 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.
 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:
