The security team notices that the Always On VPN solution sometimes fails to connect.

Installing a host-based content filtering solution on the endpoints ensures that web traffic is filtered locally even when the VPN connection to the on-premises proxy fails, maintaining protection for remote users.

Network access control (A) manages device network access, local gateway configuration (B) does not solve protection if VPN fails, and public NAT (C) exposes internal resources and increases risk.

Endpoint filtering complements VPN for resilient web security, covered in Security Architecture and Operations【6:Chapter 11†CompTIA Security+ Study Guide】.
