I have used a 7590 as both NAT-router and static router for a /30 network. This enables me to use a 2nd router to provide an "independent" connection. I was expecting the Fritz!Box to just statically route traffic coming from that 2nd router. Alas, it turns out there's a firewall in-between...

I can fully understand German. It's however difficult for me to express myself as precise as I want to in German. From a provider I'm getting a /30 -network through a fibre connection on UTP. Let's say I'm assigned 20.0.0.0/30 When I configure the Fritz!Box with PPPoE, it will get 20.0.0.1/30...

I have 2 packages with its own user added to Freetz for years. These are zabbix and ntp. A few of my boxes became inaccessible over time because /var/tmp/passwd and /var/tmp/passwd.avm became huge. At first I thought the boxes were hacked, but it turned out to be an anomaly.... I now have...

I upgraded and tested several 7490's and 7590's with the latest firmwares. A few 7590's were running fine for several months, so I decided this week to make all 7490's and 7590's the same firmware. After having flashed 5x 7590's and 42 7490's I started to get complaints regarding the WiFi. It...

If I try to push a 7590 firmware I get the message that I need to use a hidden root 'kernel.image' containing both Linux kernel and file system I have no idea what is meant here. In the bash script there's a small loop created where the folder I just created a completely new HyperV virtual...

For my own purpose I have found a way to use pcp to open a few ports which will be directed to the box itself. I need this to effectively manage many boxes from a remote location. The way I do it is not as elegant as I would like to. The main reason for this is the restrictions that are...

@PeterPawn In the thread eva_tools you speak of a "fake AVM recovery tool". Is that hypothetically or does such a tool exist or can I make one? Because International versions have always been lagging compared to the German version, I never had enough incentive to try out 7.x nor the newer 75xx...

I am still testing my script to see if it is always successful in refreshing the opened port-forwards. It seems it is. But whilst checking I suddenly see port 53344 opened to the Internet. Because I've had some instability issues in the past that turned out to be related to some "removal...

I created an init-script which wants to reboot the fritzbox. Before it does, I want to use this command to broadcast a message to those logged in with SSH that the fritzbox is going to reboot. The problem is that it doesn't do anything.....

Only now I have taken the time to investigate how I can use voip_forwardrules to enable remote access. Somehow I couldn't get it working. It was also suspicious that port 5060 wasn't working either. It now turns out that the firewall disables these rules when no voip is enabled. Is there a...

I have a Freetz router that has been hacked into using SSH. After that, the router gets used to attack sites and/or imap accounts. I kill all the dropbear processes with a foreign IP and hacking stops momentarily, but soon it resumes. If I change the password it stops. However.... After a reboot...

I have a pool of 66 Fritzboxes that are converted to Freetz which I'm monitoring with Zabbix. Most of them are 7490's and 7390's, but also some 7360. 3270, 7270... I'm heavily monitoring these for some 6 years and for that they depend on Freetz as they are running a Zabbix agent. Those Zabbix...

Only recently I started to use the AVM VPN. On 1 location I created 2 VPN links to other Fritzboxes. After adding a 3rd VPN and succesfully linking it to a 3rd Fritzbox I noticed that the link to the 2nd one was gone. After I re-entered the credentials for the 2nd one that link was...

We recently acquired a 7581 and would like to buy a 7590, but I noticed that there are no international Freetz versions for these models. The 7581 is not listed at all and the 7590 is only listed as a German version. Is it because there are no downloadable versions of the firmware because the...

I have upgraded about 12 7490's to 6.83 remotely. The 6.83 firmware I used myself and turned out to be stable. It was however a mistake... It turned out that AVM changed their policy regarding passwords of the internal VoIP-accounts. I publicly admit here that I was using quite short...

Until the 7490's arrived I have always been fighting the small space available. On all Fritzboxes I need the Zabbix agent. This forces me to remove parts of the software, but this is not enough for the 7390. Since Sierra arrived I can't use Windows Server's PPTP and I'm forced to use the...

Although I warned many others to be careful about enabling the directive "IncludeSubDomains" in their HSTS-configuration I enabled it myself today. I did this to increase the security of my domain for which I have a wildcard certificate. For those that do not know what HSTS is. In short it...

Recently Apple killed off the PPTP client access with their release of Sierra. It didn't bother them that people were actually relying on it to get access to the Microsoft Windows Server of their work. Yes, I know it's not safe. So are a lot of things and we're still doing it. There are many...

Today I tested the 6.80 firmware for the first time. In the last year I had a sustained download rate between 108~111 Mbit/s In that time I had various different firmwares. Now my download speed is 84 Mbit/s The upload speed went down from 32 Mbit/s to 31 Mbit/s I may be going back soon if...

I'm managing about 90 Fritzboxes that are running Freetz. The main reason for Freetzing these boxes is the possibility to run the Zabbix agent on them. When these routers are running this zabbix agent I can execute diagnostic commands on the Fritzbox that are initiated from the server. I have...
