The scenario suggests that Noortje is able to access the organization's file server without manually connecting to the VPN, which implies that there might be a network location server involved. A network location server can help in determining whether a device is on the corporate network, allowing for seamless access to resources without the need for manual VPN connections. This is a feature seen in technologies like DirectAccess in Windows, which does not specifically depend on the operating system version (eliminating C) or the prior establishment of a VPN connection (eliminating B). The detail about using IPv4 packets for authentication (D) is irrelevant to the ability to access resources without a VPN connection.
