Creating FRITZ!Box Users
FRITZ!Box 7560 39
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 this
user can reach only those FRITZ!Box functions for which she
or he is authorized.
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.
For more information about MyFRITZ!, see the chapter My-
FRITZ!: Accessing the FRITZ!Box from Anywhere from
page 139.
For more information about HTTPS, see the chapter Access
from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS from page 65.
Here Is How to Use Access from the Internet
• As a FRITZ!Box user with the “FRITZ!Box settings” right
you can view and edit the settings of your FRITZ!Box from
anywhere.
• With the “VPN” right you can establish a VPN connection
between your iOS or Android device and your FRITZ!Box
over the Internet. This way you can integrate your smart-
phone or tablet in the home network and communicate
with other devices in the network or use FRITZ!Box func-
tions.
• If you set up a FRITZ!Box user account for every member
of the family, with at least the rights to access voice mes-
sages, faxes, FRITZ!App Fon and the call list, the entire
family can check the answering machine or view the call
list even when they’re away from home.
• With a FRITZ!Box user account that has only the right to
access a certain area of the NAS, you can grant your
friends Internet access to your latest vacation pictures,
for instance.
