Description:
The BPjM module is issued by the german "Bundeszentrale für Kinder- und Jugendmedienschutz" and blocks websites that may not be made accessible to children and young people in Germany. This function is particularly relevant for schools and educational institutions with underage pupils. This means that DNS domains whose content is officially classified as harmful to minors are not accessible to the corresponding target group in Germany.
Automatic and regular updating and expansion of this listing is guaranteed. The BPjM module blocks DNS domains that are on the official website list of the "Bundeszentrale für Kinder- und Jugendmedienschutz" (BPjM). Blocking by category or override is not possible.
This document describes how to set up the BPjM module in the content filter of a LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall.
When the BPjM and the Content Filter are used at the same time, the block message is shown as "Unknown" after a website has been blocked.
