Explanation
Connecting to the penetration testing company's VPN via a VPS ensures that all traffic transmitted over the untrusted wireless connection is encrypted end-to-end, providing confidentiality for client data. Option A (AAA server) handles authentication, authorization, and accounting but does not encrypt data in transit over the wireless link. Option B (random MAC addresses) provides anonymity but not confidentiality of data. Option C (host-based firewall) controls inbound/outbound connections but does not encrypt wireless traffic. Only a VPN wraps all traffic in an encrypted tunnel, protecting client-sensitive data from wireless eavesdroppers.
