What is a defining feature of clientless VPNs?

Requires dedicated client software installation
Employs SSL for encryption
Operates through HTML5 compliant browsers
Only supports single-user access

The correct answer is: Operates through HTML5 compliant browsers

Clientless VPNs are specifically designed to allow users to access a private network without the need for dedicated client software to be installed on their devices. One of the key characteristics of these VPNs is that they operate through standard web browsers that are compliant with HTML5. This means users can connect to the VPN using a commonly available web browser without needing additional software or configuration, streamlining the access process, particularly for users who may be using devices that they do not control or configure, such as public or shared computers. While SSL is often used in conjunction with clientless VPNs to secure the data being transmitted, it does not define the 'clientless' aspect itself. The focus on HTML5 compatibility emphasizes the system’s accessibility through regular browsers, enhancing user convenience and flexibility. Other options discussing dedicated client software installation and user access restrictions do not capture the essence of what differentiates a clientless VPN from traditional VPN solutions.
