Select ALL accurate statements about the limits and controls of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Answer
Endpoint patching remains necessary., Security policy still controls access after traffic is decrypted., Split tunneling can let excluded traffic bypass central inspection.
Explanation
### Why this is right\n- **Endpoint patching remains necessary.** A VPN does not repair vulnerable software on a client or server.\n- **Security policy still controls access after traffic is decrypted.** Encryption does not grant permission to reach a resource.\n- **Split tunneling can let excluded traffic bypass central inspection.** Excluded routes use a path outside the VPN.\n\n### The concept\nVPN protection has a boundary at the tunnel endpoints. The tunnel protects traffic while it crosses the transit network, but the destination network still applies access controls. Split tunneling changes the path for some traffic, which affects what the central gateway can inspect.\n\n### The other options\n- **A VPN guarantees anonymity to every user.** VPN authentication can identify users, and anonymity is not guaranteed.\n\n### Remember\nA VPN connection is a protected path, not blanket permission or anonymity.
