Question

which network requires you to have dedicated software on your machine (not just, say, firefox, safan, or edge) in order to work? (1 point) lan wlan wan vpn

Explanation:

• LAN (Local Area Network) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) are typically managed by the operating - system's network settings and do not always require dedicated non - browser software.
• WAN (Wide Area Network) is a more general concept of a large - scale network, and its basic functionality doesn't inherently require non - browser dedicated software on the client side.
• VPN (Virtual Private Network), on the other hand, often requires dedicated software (such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN apps etc.) to establish and manage the secure connection, encryption, and routing that are characteristic of VPNs. Browsers like Firefox, Safari, or Edge are not sufficient for the full - fledged operation of a VPN.

Answer:

VPN
