CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 725

A network administrator needs to implement a solution to mediate access to the internet. Which of the following should the administrator most likely implement?

Answer options

• A. Router
• B. Cloud gateway
• C. Proxy
• D. Intrusion prevention system

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Proxy, as it serves to mediate and control user access to the internet by acting as an intermediary. Options A, B, and D do not specifically focus on controlling access to the internet; a router routes traffic, a cloud gateway connects to cloud services, and an intrusion prevention system focuses on security threats.
