ware for your FRITZ!Box, with which you receive more de-

tailed information about your current Internet connection.

which checks the Internet connections and supplements

FRITZ!DSL Internet is the Internet monitoring software for

your FRITZ!Box. For instructions on how to configure the

program and use it to connect to the Internet, see the corre-

sponding Online Help.

As soon as an Internet connection has been established,

FRITZ!DSL Internet presents you with information about the

current Internet connection. If

is used in combination with

a router, the program displays the connection status, pro-

vides information about the course of data transmissions,

and allows the Internet connection of FRITZ!Box to be es-

tablished or cleared from the computer.

FRITZ!Box takes care of dialing into the Internet, firewall

protection from unauthorized incoming connections, and

keeps track of transmission volume and online time. In ad-

dition you can also use the FRITZ!DSL program to check the

outgoing Internet connections.

FRITZ!DSL Protect

7.3

FRITZ!DSL Protect

FRITZ!DSL Protect protects your computer from unwanted

Internet connections, supplementing the firewall functions

of your FRITZ!Box. With FRITZ!DSL Protect you can check all

Internet connections that are established or accepted by lo-

cal programs on your computer. You can permit or prohibit

individual programs from accepting connections. If an un-

known program attempts to establish an Internet connec-

tion, 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 at-

tempts 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 enable the option “Allow changes to secu-

rity settings over UPnP” in the FRITZBox, FRITZ!DSL Protect

can foward 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. In this manner

you can participate in online activities like gaming without

having to reconfigure the FRITZ!Box firewall functions man-

ually.
