EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (ECSS) — Question 2

VPN technology is structured on the basis of tunneling. It requires the setting up and upholding of a logical network connection. The packets built in a particular VPN protocol design are put in a nutshell inside another base or carrier protocol. They are then transmitted between the VPN client and the server and deencapsulated finally on the receiving side. Which of the following statements best describes the function of voluntary tunneling?

Answer options

• A. Managing of connection setup is carried out by the VPN client
• B. Authenticates clients and relates them with certain VPN servers using logic built into the broker's device
• C. Details of the VPN server's connectivity from the VPN clients are concealed
• D. VPN connection is managed between the client and a VPN server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, accurately describes that voluntary tunneling involves the client managing the connection directly with the VPN server. Option A is incorrect because it doesn't address the nature of voluntary tunneling as a specific method of connection management. Option B focuses on client authentication rather than connection management, and option C addresses confidentiality rather than the direct management of the connection.
