count. Register your MyFRITZ! with this FRITZ!Box account.
Once your FRITZ!Box is registered with your MyFRITZ! account,
the FRITZ!Box determines the public IP address each time it is
changed and conveys it to the MyFRITZ!. The FRITZ!Box can be
reached at this IP address in the Internet from anywhere in
the world. When you log in to MyFRITZ! you will be forwarded
to the FRITZ!Box using the IP address.

Security with MyFRITZ!
For the following MyFRITZ! activities the HTTPS security proto-
col is used:
•
setting up a MyFRITZ! account with
myfritz.net
•
registration of the FRITZ!Box with the MyFRITZ! account
•
accessing the MyFRITZ! page of your FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
•
accessing the user interface of the FRITZ!Box over
myfritz.net
and over the MyFRITZ!App.
The FRITZ!Box generates its own HTTPS certificate. Because
this certificate does not come from a certification authority
preconfigured in common browsers, you have to confirm in
your web browser or in the MyFRITZ!App that the connection
should be established nevertheless. Firefox and Internet Ex-
plorer will remember your confirmation and refrain from
showing any further warnings.
The HTTP protocol is used to update the IP address with the
MyFRITZ! web service each day. The password is never trans-
mitted as clear text.
For further details on the HTTPS and HTTP protocols, see the
section
Access from the Internet via HTTPS, FTP and FTPS
from
page 88
