CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 439

Which of the following is an example of a split-tunnel VPN?

Answer options

• A. Only public resources are accessed through the user’s internet connection.
• B. Encrypted resources are accessed through separate tunnels.
• C. All corporate and public resources are accessed through routing to on-site servers.
• D. ACLs are used to balance network traffic through different connections.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a split-tunnel VPN allows users to access public resources directly through their personal internet connection while routing corporate traffic through a secure tunnel. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe a split-tunnel configuration, as they imply either full tunneling or different traffic management strategies that do not focus on the split-tunneling concept.
