CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 11

Which of the following is a cost-effective advantage of a split-tunnel VPN?

Answer options

• A. Web traffic is filtered through a web filler.
• B. More bandwidth is required on the company's internet connection.
• C. Monitoring detects insecure machines on the company's network.
• D. Cloud-based traffic flows outside of the company's network.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that split-tunnel VPNs allow cloud-based traffic to bypass the company's network, reducing load and costs. Options A and C do not illustrate cost-effectiveness, while B actually indicates a disadvantage, as it suggests increased bandwidth requirements on the company's internet connection.
