Cannot import a VPN settings file

A VPN settings file created with the Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection software cannot be imported into the FRITZ!Box. When you click "OK", the VPN configuration is not applied and displayed in the list of VPN connections under "Internet > Permit Access > VPN". The FRITZ!Box does not display an error message.

Cause

  • Due to an error in FRITZ!OS 7.02, it is not possible to import a VPN settings file if the VPN settings file was created on a computer from which the FRITZ!Box already imported a VPN settings file.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
