CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 353

Which of the following BEST describes a split-tunnel client-to-server VPN connection?

Answer options

• A. The client sends all network traffic down the VPN tunnel.
• B. The client has two different IP addresses that can be connected to a remote site from two different ISPs to ensure availability.
• C. The client sends some network traffic down the VPN tunnel and other traffic to the local gateway.
• D. The client connects to multiple remote sites at the same time.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a split-tunnel VPN allows the client to send some traffic through the VPN while allowing other traffic to go directly to the local network. Option A is incorrect as it describes a full-tunnel VPN, while B and D do not accurately represent the functionality of a split-tunnel connection.
