Parental Controls: Access Profiles for Internet Use
AVM FRITZ!Box Parental Controls for Windows Users
In the Windows operating systems (Windows 8 and
Windows 7), parental controls can be also configured for each
individual Windows user.
You will need the “AVM FRITZ!Box Parental Controls” software
if multiple Windows users with different rights in the Internet
are sharing a single computer. The “AVM FRITZ!Box Parental
Controls” software detects the various Windows users.
AVM FRITZ!Box Parental Controls
•
The AVM FRITZ!Box software can be downloaded free of
charge from the AVM website.
•
The AVM FRITZ!Box parental control software must be in-
stalled on every Windows computer on which users are
configured who are to be protected by parental controls.
•
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 de-
tect the user accounts. Windows users that are not de-
tected are treated like user accounts without any paren-
tal controls.

Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter 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 ac-
cess servers, you have to make your computer accessible for
other Internet users.
Port Forwarding
Using port forwarding you allow incoming connections from
the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connec-
tions, you grant controlled access to the computers in your
network to other Internet users.
The following port forwarding methods are possible in the
FRITZ!Box:

PING
IPv4:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box.
IPv6:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv6 address of the
FRITZ!Box. Additionally, you can set up PING6
port forwarding rules for each computer in the
home network since each computer has its own
globally valid IPv6 address.
TCP
UDP
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
exactly one computer.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
each computer in the network.
ESP
GRE
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for the two protocols ESP and GRE, which do not
use ports.
Exposed host
(Open firewall
completely)
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
completely for one computer. This computer is
then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box fire-
wall. If individual ports are already open for other
computers, then data packets for these ports are
not forwarded to the exposed host, but to the
other computer instead.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the firewall
completely for each computer. These computers
are then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box
firewall.

Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
Setting Up Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
•
IPv4: Port forwarding for IPv4 is configured in the “Inter-
net
/ Permit Access” menu, on the “Port Forwarding”
page.
•
IPv6: Enable the advanced view. Port forwarding for IPv6
is also configured in the “Internet / Permit Access”
menu, on the “IPv6” page.
Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, oth-
er Internet users can access your computers at the IP address
assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider.
This is a public IPv4 address.
Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1.
Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
2.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface and enable the ad-
vanced view in the user interface.
3.
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. Therefore it is a good idea to use
MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always be
reached under the same name. For more information about
MyFRITZ!, see the chapter
MyFRITZ!: Accessing the FRITZ!Box
from Anywhere
on
page 54
. For more information about
dynamic DNS, see the section
Dynamic DNS: Name instead of
IP Address
on
page 71
