A system administrator is configuring a client-based remote access VPN on company laptops. The configuration specifies that only traffic destined for internal corporate network ranges () should be directed through the encrypted VPN tunnel, while all unsecured internet traffic should go directly out the user's local internet connection. Which VPN feature is being implemented?
- Split tunnelingAnswer
- BFull tunneling
- CIPsec transport mode
- DDynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN)
Answer
Split tunneling is the feature that allows specified internal corporate traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel while general internet traffic routes directly through the local internet connection.
Split tunneling allows remote VPN users to access internal network resources securely over an encrypted tunnel while accessing internet resources directly via their local gateway, reducing corporate bandwidth consumption.
