FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router 12 FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router The FRITZ!Box connects computers in your home network with the Internet. This chapter explains the possibilities presented by using the FRITZ!Box as an Internet router and how to take advantage of them. 12.1 Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Using access profiles you can control the use of the Internet by devices in your network.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use No Network Device without Access Profile • Network devices that log in to the home network for the first time are automatically assigned the preconfigured “Standard” access profile. As soon as a network device is registered in the home network you can assign a different access profile. • Network devices that log in to the FRITZ!Box guest network are automatically assigned the “Guest” access profile.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use The “Guest” Access Profile Property Description Limitations The profile has the following settings configured upon delivery: • There are no time restrictions. • HTTPS queries are permitted. • Surfing and mail are allowed. Web access is blocked for all other network applications. Changeable The “Guest” profile can be changed.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Online Time The online time is defined as follows: Setting Description Period On a timetable you define when the Internet connection may be used. Online time For each day of the week you define how long the Internet is allowed to be used. Shared budget You decide and define whether all network devices that use the same access profile must share this online time limit.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Permitted Websites Access to websites with inappropriate content can be blocked using filters. The following filtering options are available: • Prevent HTTP queries: You can prevent HTTPS queries. HTTPS is used, for instance, to open Facebook, Gmail and online banking. • Permit websites with a whitelist: – The whitelist is a filter list that should be used when access should be limited to just a few websites.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Configuring Parental Controls Requirements The “Internet / Filters” menu is available only if you have configured the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and already established an Internet connection. Limitations The “Internet / Filters” menu is not available if you have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet connection is being shared.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Limitations The “Internet / Filters” menu is not available if you have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet connection is being shared. Configuring an Access Profile 1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28. 2. Select the “Internet / Filters” menu. 3. Select the “Access Profiles” tab. 4. Click 5.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use Adding Network Applications Requirements The “Internet / Filters” menu is available only if you have configured the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and already established an Internet connection. Limitations The “Internet / Filters” menu is not available if you have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet connection is being shared. Adding a Network Application 1.
Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use • AVM FRITZ!Box parental controls are installed on the computer as a service. The service must be enabled at all times. If it is not enabled, the FRITZ!Box will not detect the user accounts. Windows users that are not detected are treated like user accounts without any parental controls. Downloading AVM FRITZ!Box Parental Controls from the AVM Website 1. Open the AVM website: en.avm.de. 2. Select “Service”. 3.
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet 12.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your computer and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For applications like online games and file sharing software or server services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote access servers, you have to make your computer accessible for other Internet users.
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet ESP IPv4: GRE Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall for the two protocols ESP and GRE, which do not use ports. Exposed host IPv4: (Open firewall completely) Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall completely for one computer. This computer is then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box firewall.
Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address 2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface. 3. Enable the advanced view. 4. The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the “Overview” page in the “Connections” area. Can Always Be Reached, Even When the IP Address Changes Every time the Internet connection is interrupted, the Internet service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address may change in the process.
Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS 4. 12.4 Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic DNS. See the Help available in the FRITZ!Box user interface for more information. Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS Over the Internet it is possible to access the user interface of the FRITZ!Box. With a laptop, smartphone or tablet PC you can configure settings in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access • FTPS (FTP over SSL) FTPS is a method for encrypting the FTP protocol. Enable this protocol to secure transmission over FTP. Enabling HTTPS, FTP and FTPS in the FRITZ!Box 12.5 1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 28. 2. Enable the advanced view. 3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu. 4. Select the “FRITZ!Box Services” page and enable the protocols you need. See also the Help on the user interface.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access • When the Internet connection is working at full capacity, the network packets of the applications of this category will always be sent first. In this case data from network applications assigned to other categories will be transmitted later. • If multiple network applications are assigned to this category, then they must share the available capacity.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access • If no other network applications are active, then the background applications receive the entire bandwidth. Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box The following techniques are used in the FRITZ!Box to send data packets according to their prioritization: • Change in the order in which packets are sent to the Internet (upstream direction) The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.
VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network 12.6 VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network Via a VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secure remote access to the network of the FRITZ!Box can be established. VPN in the FRITZ!Box IPSec VPN in the FRITZ!Box is based on the IPSec standard. Computer—LAN Computer-LAN linkup: VPN connections can be configured for individual remote computers. LAN—LAN LAN-LAN linkup: VPN connections can be configured for remote networks.
VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network See also the Help available in the FRITZ!Box user interface for assistance with configuring VPN. Supplementary Software for VPN All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configuration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive this file. Individual computers that are networked over a VPN require a VPN client.
Freely Selectable DNS Servers 12.7 Freely Selectable DNS Servers DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6. These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service provider. For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance, OpenDNS and Google DNS. Here is how to change the DNS server entry: The “DNSv6” page is displayed only if you enabled IPv6 support for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page. 12.8 1.
IPv6: The New Internet Protocol The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address returned by the DNS server.
