Accessing the FRITZ!Box from the Internet
To be able to access your FRITZ!Box from the Internet, the fol-
lowing conditions must be fulfilled:
• You have set up an account with the MyFRITZ! service;
see page 135. Your FRITZ!Box is registered with this
MyFRITZ! account.
• The option “Access from the Internet allowed” is en-
abled in your user account.
• The option “Internet access to the FRITZ!Box via HTTPS
enabled” is selected in the “Internet / MyFRITZ!” menu,
or enabled in the “Internet / Permit Access / FRITZ!Box
Services” menu.
When the MyFRITZ! service is enabled this check mark is
set automatically.
A FRITZ!Box user who has been granted Internet access can
use the MyFRITZ! service (myfritz.net
) to access the corre-
sponding FRITZ!Box from any location. From the Internet she
or he can reach only those FRITZ!Box contents she or he can
also access from the home network.
Check at regular intervals whether a FRITZ!Box user still re-
quires access to the FRITZ!Box from the Internet, and if not,
disable this feature in the properties of the user. For reasons
of security we recommend disabling Internet access to the
FRITZ!Box via HTTPS whenever no more FRITZ!Box users re-
quire access to the user interface of your FRITZ!Box from the
Internet.
