CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 47

A networking team was asked to provide secure remote access to all company employees. The team decided to use client-to-site VPN as a solution. During a discussion, the Chief Information Security Officer raised a security concern and asked the networking team to route the Internet traffic of remote users through the main office infrastructure. Doing this would prevent remote users from accessing the Internet through their local networks while connected to the VPN.
Which of the following solutions does this describe?

Answer options

• A. Full tunneling
• B. Asymmetric routing
• C. SSH tunneling
• D. Split tunneling

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Full tunneling, as it requires all Internet traffic to be routed through the corporate network, enhancing security by preventing local Internet access. Asymmetric routing refers to different paths for incoming and outgoing traffic, SSH tunneling is a method for secure remote access that doesn't necessarily involve routing all traffic through a central point, and Split tunneling allows users to access the Internet directly while connected to the VPN, which contradicts the requirement stated in the question.
