CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 196

Which of the following WiFi security options would create the MOST need for a VPN connection on the client device?

Answer options

• A. Open
• B. WEP
• C. WPA
• D. WPA2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Open, because without any encryption or security, an open WiFi network exposes data to potential interception, making a VPN necessary for secure communication. In contrast, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 provide varying levels of encryption that reduce the need for a VPN, as they offer some protection for data transmitted over the network.
