CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 491

Which of the following could provide a lightweight and private connection to a remote box?

Answer options

• A. Site-to-site VPN
• B. Telnet
• C. Console
• D. Secure Shell

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Secure Shell (SSH) is designed for secure remote access, making it the best option for a lightweight and private connection. In contrast, Telnet does not provide encryption, making it insecure, while Console refers to a local access method, and Site-to-site VPN is typically heavier and serves different networking purposes.
