Perhaps because it covers the basics, it wasn’t difficult, and the clear explanations made it even easier to understand. If you’re studying networking, I think it’s worth checking out at least once.

It was easy to understand because you explained the basic concepts of networking with illustrations. I especially appreciated being able to visually follow how data is transmitted and how networks work. The complex concepts were explained step by step, which helped me build a solid foundation in networking.
I can explain the sequence in which a website loads.
I can distinguish the roles of MAC addresses, IP addresses, and ports.
You can determine what to check first when you can’t connect.
What happens between entering a website address and seeing the page load?
Instead of memorizing IP, TCP, DNS, and HTTP separately, connect the entire flow of data through diagrams.
38 lessons · 2 hours 44 minutes total · about 4 minutes per lesson · no prerequisites required
Learning topics at a glance: DNS · IP · TCP and UDP · HTTP · routing · security
My computer → router → internet → server → back to my screen
Following the familiar process of accessing a website, we’ll explore the role that addresses and protocols play at each step. The material is designed to help you understand unfamiliar concepts by connecting them, rather than memorizing them separately.
Understand through visuals: Visually follow the flow of an invisible network.
Learn in short segments: Study one topic per lesson in about four minutes.
Bring It All Together at the End: Review the concepts you learned through an example of accessing a website.
The overall flow of accessing a website: resolve the address with DNS → establish a TCP connection → send an HTTP request and receive a response → display the webpage
Network Fundamentals: Learn about the internet, packets, the OSI 7-layer model, and the TCP/IP model.
Connecting to nearby devices: Explore the roles of Ethernet, MAC addresses, switches, and Wi-Fi.
Addresses and data paths: Learn about IP addresses, subnets, gateways, routing, DHCP, and NAT.
The essentials of web communication: Understand how ports, TCP and UDP, DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS are used.
Security and troubleshooting: Explore the basics of firewalls and VPNs, and check connection status using network settings, the command line, and browser developer tools.
MAC addresses are used to identify connections on a local network, IP addresses identify the communication partner, and ports identify the program to which data is delivered.
Students and non-majors who are unfamiliar with networking terminology and aren’t sure where to start
