What capability does a GRE tunnel provide to a bot herder communicating with his bots?

The correct answer is C. VPN-like IP packet transfers. GRE tunnels are point-to-point, stateless, and enencrypted. They encapsulate and transfer packets from a source to a destination without the packets creating the tracks they would leave if they were sent outside the tunnel, obscuring where the packets originated.
