People haven't used visitor counters on websites for 15 years or more. They're terribly unreliable as they only count a page refresh.

Your hosting control panel will have site stats that you can look at though.

What's the address of your site?

There are plenty of stand alone packages that will do that for you, probably with more features than could be built into phpBB.

Possibly the most popular one is Awstats
