Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The way SSL VPN and IPSec VPN are different is that IPSec VPN uses an additional virtual adapter; SSL VPN uses the client network adapter only. SSL VPN and IPSec VPN are two types of VPN technologies that provide secure remote access to network resources over the internet. SSL VPN uses SSL/TLS protocol to establish an encrypted tunnel between the client and the server, and does not require any additional software or hardware on the client side. IPSec VPN uses IPSec protocol to establish an encrypted tunnel between the client and the server, and requires a dedicated virtual adapter on the client side to handle the IPSec traffic. The other options are either incorrect or not relevant to SSL VPN and IPSec VPN.

Wait, isn't SSL VPN the one where you need to install a client? I'm going with C) just to be safe. Don't want to get tripped up by the technicalities, you know?

B) SSL VPN adds an extra VPN header to the packet, IPSec VPN does not? Hmm, I'm gonna need a diagram for that one. Or maybe just a cup of coffee...

I think it's C) IPSec VPN does not support two factor authentication, SSL VPN does support this. Security is paramount these days, so that's gotta be the right answer.
