MyFRITZ! in the Internet
MyFRITZ! Account / myfritz.net
With a MyFRITZ! account you can access your FRITZ!Box from the internet, to view call information, for instance, or photos, music, or video files on the home network storage. You can also receive reports on the status of your FRITZ! products.
Create a MyFRITZ! account with an email address and a password.
FRITZ!Box web address
The MyFRITZ! account assigns the FRITZ!Box a web address accessible to the public.
If internet access to the FRITZ!Box is enabled and a FRITZ!Box user has been configured with "Access from the internet allowed" rights, then you can access your FRITZ!Box directly with a web browser, for instance via "myfritz.net". You can also use the address to establish VPN connections to your FRITZ!Box or server services in the home network for which you configured port sharing under "Internet / Permit Access".
In the following cases, the assigned address cannot be reached from the internet:
- Your FRITZ!Box is in IP client mode, meaning that it shares the existing internet connection of another router.
- Your internet service provider did not assign a public IPv4 address to your FRITZ!Box, for instance for connections with the dual-stack lite protocol.
