“'#Starlink doesn’t require anything. It allows you to transmit data without any kind of record or tracking,' this person told The Post. '#WhiteHouse #IT systems had very strong controls on network access. You had to be on a full-tunnel #VPN at all times. If you are not on the VPN, White House-issued devices can’t connect to the outside.'
"A full-tunnel VPN connection protects all data that’s sent and received and can also monitor or block any content.
“'With a Starlink connection, that means White House devices could leave the network and go out through gateways. … It’s going to help you bypass #security,' another person said.
