SSL/TLS was developed for remote access VPNs.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It was developed for site-to-site VPNs
• D. It depends on the implementation

Answer: (B)

SSL/TLS was designed to protect the data and authenticity of communications for applications, most famously securing web traffic (HTTPS) and other client–server interactions. It wasn’t created specifically to support remote access VPNs. VPNs were traditionally built using other technologies like IPsec. Later, TLS-based VPNs emerged by tunneling traffic through a TLS session, but that use is a later adaptation, not the original purpose. So the statement is false.
