For quite some times my back-up way to access a Fritz!Box when the VPN itself failed was to SSH into a system behind it and use SSH port forwarding to access the Fritz!Box.
Seems that only works for older models with older firmware versions, but newer models with newer firmware now give a rebinding protection error.
I am not sure why it does this as technically there is no [Wayback/Archive] DNS rebinding – Wikipedia.
Regrettably, I could not find a way around this from the links below.

A few years ago I asked for some help figuring out what to whitelist so that winget can update its sources and install packages.
This is how I found out.

Two interesting posts on fast network routing:
… I also ran into weird DNS slow-downs, which I didn’t fully diagnose. In Wireshark, it looked like my machine sent 2 DNS queries but received only 1 DNS result, and then waited for a timeout.
… Since I last used MikroTik in 2014 the software seems to have barely changed. I wish they finally implemented some table-stakes features like DNS resolution for DHCP hostnames

For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:
[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.
This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).
Notes:
Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:

Het grappige van sommige Tweakers.net artikelen is dat er dan ineens veel tips over een concurrerend product in staat (omdat de laatste over het algemeen op bepaalde vlakke beter is).

TL;DR: for the foreseeable future, avoid USB C hubs with built-in Ethernet as they will bring down your local LAN when no PC is connected to the hub.
[Wayback/Archive] Karoly Negyesi 💉💉💉 Слава Україні! on Twitter: “Apparently some/many/most powered USB C hubs with Ethernet are causing serious problems when not connected to a computer. This is such an amazing interaction of various standards. “

Most Fritz!Box VoIP configurations have a phone number configured to only work on telephony devices (i.e. handsets) on the same Fritz!Box.
But it is possible to define a telephony device that itself is another VoIP end-point.
This way you can hook a second (or more) Fritz!Box up to the phone number(s) of the first Fritz!Box.
I am using this for two reasons:
Below is how to get this going, assuming the first Fritz!Box is a 7490 running firmware 7.29 and the second is a a 7360 with firmware 6.33 (other versions and firmware versions vary slightly).
But first the related post: Many links about free modem/router choice and their configurations for the Dutch KPN internet/VoIP provider where I figured out that just using a 7360 won’t cut it any more.

My ISP did auto-update the Fritz!Box, but did not send release-notes, so I was not aware this feature had been added eons ago:
[Wayback/Archive] thuddevort on Twitter: “@jpluimers @wijnands @b0rk @xs4all You can disable the extra confirmation under System > FRITZ!Box Users > Additional Confirmation”.
I know a second factor is better for security, but doing that on both sites at the same time when setting up LAN2LAN VPN is tough (Fritz!Box names this either “LAN-LAN coupling” or “VPN Connections between the FRITZ!Box and Other Networks”.
A better feature at the same configuration page is instead of disabling, enabling to confirm using apps like Google Authenticator and Authy:
