CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 445

Users within a corporate network need to connect to the internet, but corporate network policy does not allow direct connections. Which of the following is MOST likely to be used?

Answer options

• A. Proxy server
• B. VPN client
• C. Bridge
• D. VLAN

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the users and the internet, allowing users to connect without direct access, which aligns with the corporate policy. A VPN client is used for secure remote connections, while a bridge connects two network segments, and a VLAN is used for segmenting networks but does not directly facilitate internet access.
