Key notes
The AVM-powered FritzBox is a highly appreciated router and we dare say, it’s for all the right reasons. Smart WiFi-compliant and packed with advanced functionalities, the FritzBox is unfortunately not compatible with commercial VPNs.
But does that mean you cannot use it on Windows 11 PCs, for example? Of course not. In fact, there are 3 methods available:
Whether you choose to install a VPN on individual devices or use a VPN-compatible router, you will need a versatile and capable VPN client that can handle both tasks graciously.
Our recommendation is Private Internet Access simply because it checks all the boxes and more:
PIA VPN
And since the first option is pretty much self-explanatory – you just need to subscribe to a PIA VPN plan and download the software on your Windows 11 device – we will focus on the second one.
How do I add a VPN to my FritzBox?
The traffic from your Windows 11 PC is now routed through your FritzBox and through the VPN set at the router level so you can enjoy full Internet speed as well as iron-cast privacy!
