CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 259

Which of the following would be the BEST choice to connect branch sites to a main office securely?

Answer options

• A. VPN headend
• B. Proxy server
• C. Bridge
• D. Load balancer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A VPN headend is specifically designed to create secure connections over the internet, making it the best choice for connecting branch sites to a main office. In contrast, a proxy server primarily handles web requests, a bridge connects network segments without security features, and a load balancer distributes traffic but does not provide secure connections.
