CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 875

A network administrator wants all outgoing traffic to the internet to flow through a single device for web content inspection. Which of the following devices is the most appropriate?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Proxy server, as it is specifically designed to filter and inspect web traffic. A VPN headend (A) is used for secure remote access, a Router (B) primarily directs traffic without content inspection, and a Load balancer (D) distributes traffic across multiple servers, not for content inspection.
