I flagged this post because it's just spreading FUD (in the traditional meaning) at this point. The fritz.box domain had been registered in January, but someone (likely AVM) quickly contested the registration and it was disconnected in March. It is currently in the settlement and resale phase, so very likely AVM, the makers of Fritz! Box, will just buy the domain and ensure it responds NXDOMAIN to any query or something. While I still believe that using a non-reserved domain like 'fritz.box' as their internal domain and suffix is just dumb, they are aware of the issue and working on a resolution that appears sensible.

The fact is that currently DNS requests are forwarded to an unknown entity. The matter is not resolved yet and there is no guarantuee it will be resolved. Imo there's no FUD here. I will happily correct any factual errors ofcourse.
