Setting Up Port Sharing
Overview
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your computer 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 access servers, you have to make your com
puter accessible for other Internet users.
Port Sharing
Using port sharing you allow incoming connections from the Internet.
By releasing certain ports for incoming connections, you grant con
trolled access to the computers in your network to other Internet
users.

Port sharing in the FRITZ!Box is possible on the following protocols:
