Learn more about Virtual Private Networks. Protect your privacy online, create a secure tunnel, and learn how to configure a router to support a secure VPN tunnel. Even though this course is still for beginners, you will get a chance to see a lot of interesting labs and real-world examples: L2TP IPsec, SSL, and OpenVPN. We will even try to flash a router using DD-WRT. A lot of really cool examples and labs.

Virtual Private Networks for beginners – Advanced topics:

  • Labs and real-world examples

  • OpenVPN (on a router and as a virtual machine)

  • VPN examples: NAS, routers, firewalls, UTMs, PPTP, L2TP IPsec, SSL, OpenVPN

  • NordVPN on a router to protect your privacy online automatically

  • Deeper understanding of protocols: hashes, digital signatures, and more

  • IPsec in depth (still for beginners!)

  • Dynamic DNS

  • Port forwarding allowing you to enable VPN services

This is a very hands-on course with multiple labs and demos. You will see routers, software VPN, network attach storage devices, virtual machines, and more. This is still for beginners but covers more topics and takes things a bit deeper in configurations and options. You will see e.g. OpenVPN in action on a brand new router.

Great course for both beginners and those looking to deepen their understanding of VPNs. The explanations were clear, and the topics were well-structured. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their networking skills!

By Piotr Wojciechowski on 9/12/2024

very helpful. I've found more knowledge in one single learning than in the whole learning program during my university studies

By Magnus Björkenstam on 1/4/2022

Useless information, low effort

By Delio Innamorati on 8/15/2019

The instructor is really clear on his explanations. A big bonus is that they also give real world examples which is always helpful!

By Sandra Aldana on 8/9/2019

En general bien par entender como funciona VPN, y los ejemplos ayudan a ver las implementaciones en la realidad.

By Aga Z on 7/29/2019

A very interesting course for beginners. Many helpful troubleshooting tips in labs and real-world examples. Now I know how to protect my privacy online and configure a router using secure VPN tunnel. I recommend it!!

By Kamil Pasik on 6/21/2019

Nice course! Now I understand the VPN Protocols and know how to configure a router. Really useful knowledge. Thank you, Marious!

By Martin Norvaisa on 6/12/2019

The course was geared more towards home setups to teach about VPN. In that respect it is fine, though I felt some information provided later could have helped actual beginners understand some of the information given earlier. Personally I was looking for a refresher for Cisco configurations for VPN, but there was information provided that made the course worthwhile. It would have been useful if the links provided in the course for more information would have been provided in an attachment to the course, to make it easier to either copy/paste or click on.

Virtual private networks for beginners is a good solid course presented in the usual straightforward and easy to follow manner which you would expect from this instructor.

By Amar Sonik on 5/24/2018
