Remote Access over HTTPS

Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up Dynamic

DNS. Consult the Online Help available in the FRITZ!Box

user interface for more information.

Remote Access over HTTPS

With this function it is possible to access the user interface of

the FRITZ!Box from another location. With this feature you can

configure settings in the FRITZ!Box or perform a firmware up-

date using a computer that is not in your own network (LAN or

WLAN).

Setting Up Remote Access over HTTPS in the FRITZ!Box

Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (

page 31

Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “Sys-

tem / Expert Mode” menu.

Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.

Select the “Remote Access” page and set up dynamic

DNS. For more information, see the Online Help.

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network

applications and network devices be treated with higher or

lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For

example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Inter-

net telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated

with higher priority than other applications. You can also

specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTor-

rent always have to wait behind online games.

Categories for Prioritization

There are three categories for prioritization: “Real-time appli-

cations”, “Prioritized applications” and “Background appli-

cations”. The categories are explained below.

Network applications and network devices are assigned to

the categories using rules.

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

Real-time Applications

•

Network applications of this category always have priori-

ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the

same time.

•

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, like “Priori-

tized applications”, will be transmitted later.

•

If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-

egory, then they must share the available capacity.

•

Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-

ry, this application always has the highest priority, even

over other real-time applications.

Prioritized Applications

This category is suitable for applications that require a fast re-

action time (for example, company access, terminal applica-

tions, games).

•

For network applications prioritized in this category,

90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available,

as long as no application from the “Real-time applica-

tions” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10%

of the upload bandwidth is available for applications

that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized

at all.

•

If multiple network applications are assigned to the “Pri-

oritized applications” category, then they must share

the available capacity.

Background Applications

This category is suitable for applications that do not require

any high transmission speed and which are not time-critical

(for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).

•

Network applications assigned to this category are al-

ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet

connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an

Page 53 / 180

Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access

application from a different category or a non-prioritized

application requires the entire bandwidth, all back-

ground applications must wait until bandwidth capacity

becomes available again.

•

If no other network applications are active, then the

background applications receive the entire bandwidth.

Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box

The following algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box to send data

packets according to their prioritization:

•

Change in the order in which packets are sent to the In-

ternet (upstream direction)

The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the

Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.

•

Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-

mission of higher-priority packets. This algorithm is

used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to

the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the

Internet connection allows.

•

As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority

applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet

connection is available for low-priority packets.

Setting Up Prioritization in the FRITZ!Box

In order to use prioritization, the expert mode must be en-

abled in the user interface of the FRITZ!Box.

Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “Sys-

tem / Expert Mode” menu.

Prioritization is set up in the “Internet / Filters / Prioriti-

zation” menu.

VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network

10.6

VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network

Via VPN (

see glossary

) a secure remote access to the network

of the FRITZ!Box can be established. The VPN solution for the

FRITZ!Box features the following:

•

The VPN solution for the FRITZ!Box is based on the IPSec

standard.

•

Computer-LAN coupling and LAN-LAN coupling: VPN con-

nections can be set up for individual remote computers

or even for remote networks.

•

A maximum of eight simultaneous active VPN connec-

tions are supported.

•

The configuration files for the VPN connections are creat-

ed using a separate program. The program is provided

free of charge and can be downloaded from the AVM web

site.

•

A free VPN client for individual computers can also be

downloaded from the AVM web site.

The AVM web site offers a Service Portal which presents com-

prehensive information on VPN in general and in connection

with the FRITZ!Box. Visit this portal to obtain more detailed in-

formation.

Setting Up VPN in the FRITZ!Box

Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Enable the expert settings in the “System / Expert

Mode” menu.

Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.

Select the “VPN” page.

See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box to set up VPN.

DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries

Supplementary Software for VPN

All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configu-

ration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive

this file.

If an individual computer is integrated into a network via a

VPN, the computer must have a VPN client installed.

•

“Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard

AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN” software

for creating configuration files. This program is a Wizard

that takes you step by step through the VPN configura-

tion. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the encryp-

tion method and access rules, are set automatically. The

resulting configuration files must be imported to the re-

spective terminals of the VPN tunnel. At the terminal

with the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported

to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN parameters in these files can

be adjusted manually to connect to products by other

manufacturers.

•

The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN Client

AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.

Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of

charge from the VPN Service Portal on the AVM web site:

DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries

DNSSEC is short for Domain Name System Security Exten-

sions. As the name says, this is an extension of DNS, the do-

main name system.

DNSSEC ensures that both the DNS server and the informa-

tion returned by the DNS server are authentic, or genuine.
