Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

To enforce security policy for off-network users

Always-On VPN ensures that the VPN tunnel is established immediately when a client detects a network connection, enforcing security policy even off-premise.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • To reduce authentication time

    Why it's wrong here

    It actually adds a step to network connectivity.

  • To improve performance

    Why it's wrong here

    Always-on does not improve performance; it enforces security.

  • To enable seamless roaming

    Why it's wrong here

    Roaming is handled by IKEv2 MOBIKE, not the always-on feature.

  • To enforce security policy for off-network users

    Why this is correct

    It ensures the user is always protected by corporate security policies.
