Remote access VPNs typically use VPN gateways.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Cannot determine

Answer: (A)

Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted tunnel between a client and a network edge device that terminates the VPN and enforces security policies. That edge device, commonly called a VPN gateway or VPN concentrator, handles authentication, encryption, and tunnel management. Because the VPN must be terminated somewhere with policy enforcement, remote access VPNs typically use a VPN gateway. Without a gateway, the tunnel cannot be established and managed. Therefore this statement is true. The other options imply no gateway is involved or that the requirement is unknown, which doesn’t fit standard VPN architecture.
