Supplementary Software for VPN

5.4 Supplementary Software for VPN
IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art en-
cryption procedures and can be integrated seamlessly in-
to existing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is
used in the FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is the most mod-
ern encryption algorithm.
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a con-
figuration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must re-
ceive this file.
If an individual computer is integrated into a network via a
VPN, the computer must have a VPN client installed.

The "FRITZ!Box VPN" Configuration Wizard
AVM provides the "Configure FRITZ!Box VPN" soft-
ware in English to set up configuration files. This pro-
gram is a Wizard that takes you step by step through
the VPN configuration. All of the necessary VPN set-
tings, like the encryption method and access rules,
are set automatically. The resulting configuration
files must be imported to the respective 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 manufac-
turers.
