The BPjM module was setup by Germany’s Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) and blocks websites that should not be accessible to children and young people. This feature is particularly relevant for schools and educational institutions with underage students. DNS-Domains with content that is officially classified as harmful to minors cannot be accessed by the relevant target group. This list is guaranteed to be automatically updated and extended on a regular basis. The BPjM module blocks DNS-Domains that are listed on the official website of the Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) in Germany. Blocking by category and overrides (allow) are not available.
The BPjM module is available as part of the LANCOM Content Filter option or separately via the LANCOM BPjM Filter software option.
The IPv4 or IPv6 firewalls implement this feature with a default firewall rule that can be activated and configured for each network. For example, it is possible to equip only the students' network with this filter, but exclude other networks from it.
The IPv6 firewall features a new default rule BPJM, which is deactivated by default with the system object "BPJM" as the destination station. A similar rule is available in the IPv4 firewall. The networks to be protected by the BPjM module are specified as source stations.
