9.3 FRITZ!DSL Protect
FRITZ!DSL Protect protects your computer from unwanted
Internet connections, supplementing the firewall func-
tions of your FRITZ!Box. With FRITZ!DSL Protect you can
check all Internet connections that are established or
accepted by local programs on your computer. You can
permit or prohibit individual programs from accepting
connections: If an unknown program attempts to establish
an Internet connection, you will be asked whether you
wish to allow such a connection.
An overview shows the programs already set up in
FRITZ!DSL Protect along with their access rights. A Journal
grants you an overview of all successful and rejected at-
tempts to access the Internet.
One of the most convenient functions offered by FRITZ!DSL
Protect works in combination with the UPnP capability of
the FRITZ!Box. If you have enabled the option “Allow
changes to security settings over UPnP” in the FRITZ!Box,
FRITZ!DSL Protect can release ports for incoming connec-
tions on the FRITZ!Box whenever they are needed by pro-
grams. For this capability you must activate the “Use Port
Forwarding” option in the “Settings” of FRITZ!DSL Protect.
In this manner you can participate in online activities like
gaming without having to reconfigure the FRITZ!Box fire-
wall functions manually.
