Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
The child protection feature is available only if you have set
up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and established
an Internet connection. Child protection is not available if you
have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use
the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet con-
nection is being shared.

10.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For ap-
plications like online games and file sharing software or serv-
er services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote access
servers you have to make your computer accessible for other
Internet users.
Port Forwarding
Using port forwarding, you allow incoming connections from
the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connec-
tions, you grant controlled access to your computers in your
network to other Internet users. Ports serve to assign incom-
ing data packets to the various applications when all applica-
tions can be accessed at one IP address only.
The following port forwarding methods are possible in the
FRITZ!Box:
FRITZ!Box 3370
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
Select the "Internet / Filters" menu.
Set up child protection. See the Online Help available in
the FRITZ!Box user interface for more information.
