Hi
Simple question: Can a client infected with a trojan pass it on to a server
via a VPN connection?

to elaborate?
The server in question has Symantec Endpoint Security and is fully patched,
hence the network admin says it can not happen. But I am not convinced.

David H. Lipman said:a VPN connection means there is a virtual network tunnel that
exists between you and the network you connect to. While a
trojan is not a virus which can self replicate, a trojan
still can be passed from the VPN client to the hosting networking.
A VPN is a doorway and once oped you or anything can step
through that doorway. How that happens is another matter.
