FRITZ!DSL Protect
FRITZ!Box Fon – 6 FRITZ!DSL: The Software Suite 39
FRITZ!DSL Protect program can also be implemented to pro-
vide added protection against unauthorized connections to
the Internet.
6.2 FRITZ!DSL Protect
FRITZ!DSL Protect protects your PC from unwanted Internet
connections. You can specify or prohibit Internet access for
each program individually. If an unknown program attempts
to establish and 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 attempts 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 Pro-
tect can release ports for incoming connections on the
FRITZ!Box whenever they are needed by programs. For this
capability you must activate the “Use Port Forwarding” op-
tion in the “Settings” of FRITZ!DSL Protect. This means you
can participate in online activities like gaming without hav-
ing to reconfigure the FRITZ!Box firewall manually.
