These devices integrate various functions into a single device and - even due to grant-aided sales over some bigger
providers in Germany - they're used widely in many (non-professional) installations in Germany (some sources speak
about a market share of 50-60 percent here), Austria and Switzerland.

Maybe there's a little active community using FRITZ!Box devices in Australia too ... sometimes you may find some
(mostly older) bulletin board conversations from this country regarding AVM routers.

The firmware for these devices is built on-top of Linux with many proprietary components. AVM states, they would
publish a package with the open source files used to build their system, but since they switched to kernel version
3.10.73, these source packages are very incomplete (at least I think, they are ... I'm unable to compile a running
kernel from these sources and I'm not the only one with such problems).

This repository contains (yet) some smaller shell scripts and files supporting their use ... it's growing and each

be put together sometime in the future to form a single integrated solution.

The modfs project is a spin-off from this (earlier) project, it's a solution to change the firmware supplied by the
vendor on the FRITZ!Box device itself without the needs to use an own Linux installation with a complete toolchain

vendor on the FRITZ!Box device itself without the needs to use an own Linux installation with a complete toolchain
built by the Freetz project. It's only a command line based solution, created from some proof-of-concept shell
scripts, but it got some attention since it's a really simple solution to customize the stock firmware for your
own needs. Because it may be used to create incremental changes and it contains a "boot manager" solution to switch
a FRITZ!Box router between two different systems, each installed in its own partitions in the NAND flash of modern

Why should anybody need such a solution?

Because most users of FRITZ!OS devices are missing only an OpenVPN server/client and a SSH server for secure access
to the command shell of the devices, these packages are (according to my experiences in the support forum for the
Freetz project from the IPPF BBS - www.ip-phone-forum.de) the most used extensions to the stock firmware and a

solution providing these additions as modular packages could save many people from the needs to make further
changes to their devices, as the use of a "full-blown" Freetz image would do. Meanwhile the extensive changes made
by the vendor to the GUI of the devices (it's now a "responsive design" :-)) renders some important Freetz packages
