AVM\'s [Fritz!Box](https://it.avm.de/prodotti/fritzbox/) routers already provide built-in two important services that enable
|
|
remote connectivity :
|
|
- **Dynamic DNS**
|
|
- **VPN based on ipsec protocol**.
|
|
|

|
> [New firmware version under development](https://en.avm.de/fritz-lab/fresh-from-development/fresh-from-development/), will also allow the creation of VPNs based on [Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/).
|
|
|
|
Dynamic DNS associates the router's public IP with a host name on the myfritz.net domain, allowing thus making it possible to reach the router over the Internet even if you do not have a connection with a static IP.
|
|
|
|
This functionality is preparatory to the implementation of the VPNs that Fritz!Box supports.
|
|
VPNs can be of 2 types :
|
|
|
|
1. **site to site** : to connect 2 or more Fritz!Box devices (or even compatible devices that support the same type of VPN) to each other in order to connect their respective private networks.
|
|
|
|
This feature can be very useful for connecting two remote locations, such as 2 geographically distant offices or
|
|
home with the office.
|
|
|
|
2. **client** : to connect a client (smartphone, tablet, computer) via VPN to the router and thus reach its internal network
|
|
|
|
This allows individual external employees to access internal company resources via a secure channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Advanced networking features also allow you to select which internal resources can access the VPN, thus making
|
|
only essential services and devices reachable, improving security.
