CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 453

An employee connects to the company network from home using a VPN. Company data uses the VPN, while internet traffic uses the home ISP connection. Which of the following best describes the connectivity method in use?

Answer options

• A. IPSec
• B. Split-tunnel
• C. Clientless
• D. Out-of-band

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Split-tunnel, as it allows the user to access both the company network and the internet simultaneously, directing traffic appropriately. Option A, IPSec, refers to a protocol suite for securing internet protocol communications, but does not describe the traffic routing method. Options C and D, Clientless and Out-of-band, do not pertain to the specific configuration of VPN traffic management described in the question.
