CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 287

A business owner wants to filter objectionable content from being accessed with an Internet browser. Which of the following network devices would be BEST suited for this task?

Answer options

• A. IPS
• B. Web server
• C. Firewall
• D. Proxy server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Proxy server is specifically designed to filter and control web traffic, making it ideal for blocking objectionable content. In contrast, an IPS focuses on intrusion prevention, a Web server hosts websites, and a Firewall primarily controls incoming and outgoing network traffic but may not provide granular content filtering.
