CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 165

A network administrator needs to provide remote clients with access to an internal web application. Which of the following methods provides the HIGHEST flexibility and compatibility while encrypting only the connection to the web application?

Answer options

• A. Clientless VPN
• B. Virtual desktop
• C. Virtual network computing
• D. mGRE tunnel

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Clientless VPN, as it allows remote clients to access web applications through a standard web browser without needing a full VPN client, providing high flexibility and compatibility. The other options, such as Virtual desktop and Virtual network computing, involve more extensive remote access solutions that may not specifically encrypt only the connection to the web application, while mGRE tunnel is a specific type of VPN that does not prioritize flexibility and compatibility for web applications.
