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.
Individual computers that are networked over a VPN require a
VPN client.

The “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard
AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection”
software for creating configuration files. This program is
a Wizard that takes you step by step through the VPN
configuration. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the
encryption method and access rules, are set automati-
cally. The resulting configuration files must be imported
to the 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 man-
ufacturers.
