Episode 92: Proxies and VPN Gateways — Secure Remote Access

This episode explains the role of proxies and VPN gateways in securing and managing remote access. Proxies act as intermediaries between clients and external servers, often providing content filtering, caching, or anonymization. VPN gateways establish encrypted tunnels that allow remote users or branch offices to connect securely to internal resources. Both are central exam topics because they highlight access control and secure communication.

Practical examples include deploying a web proxy to block malicious sites or using a VPN gateway to connect a remote workforce securely to corporate applications. Troubleshooting issues may include dropped VPN tunnels, certificate errors, or misconfigured proxy authentication. Mastering proxies and VPN gateways ensures you can answer exam questions and support secure remote connectivity in real-world networks.
