 ## The Problem
 
 When you first set up DDEV with a Fritz!Box router, you might encounter a failure to resolve the domain name when trying to access your `*.ddev.site` project, even though your site is accessible via the `127.0.0.1` direct URL given in `ddev describe`. This happens because Fritz!Box routers enable DNS Rebinding Protection that suppresses DNS responses pointing to your own network.

 Rather than relying on DDEV's hosts file fallback, it's better to solve the underlying DNS problem by configuring your Fritz!Box router to allow the `ddev.site` domain.
 
-Here's how to fix it:
+Where the setting lives depends on your Fritz!OS version, so start the same way in both cases:
 
 1. Access your Fritz!Box router settings - the factory defaults are `http://fritz.box` and `http://192.168.178.1`
 2. Navigate to **Home Network** (Heimnetz) > **Network** (Netzwerk) > **Network Settings** (Netzwerkeinstellungen)
-3. Look for the DNS rebinding protection section
-4. Add `ddev.site` to the exceptions list
-5. Save your settings

+Then follow the steps for your firmware below.

+### Newer Fritz!OS versions
+
+On newer firmware the DNS rebinding settings are no longer on the **Network Settings** page itself; they moved to a separate expert area:
+
+1. Scroll to the bottom of the **Network Settings** (Netzwerkinstellingen) tab and click **Change advanced network settings** (Geavanceerde netwerkinstellingen wijzigen)
+2. Open the **DNS Rebind Protection** (DNS-rebindbeveiliging) tab
+3. Click **Add exception** (Uitzondering toevoegen) and enter `ddev.site`
+4. Click **Apply** (Toepassen)

+### Older Fritz!OS versions
+
+On older firmware the **DNS Rebind Protection** (DNS-Rebind-Schutz) section is directly on the **Network Settings** (Netzwerkeinstellungen) tab:
+
+1. Find the **DNS Rebind Protection** (DNS-Rebind-Schutz) section
+2. Add `ddev.site` to the **Hostname exceptions** (Hostnamen-Ausnahmen) box
