Ever wondered what actually happens when you type a URL into your browser? In this episode, I break down the fundamentals of networking — from the OSI model to raw TCP connections — no prior experience required.

📌 What we cover:

- The OSI network model

- IP addresses, subnets, and routing

- TCP vs UDP and port numbers

- Connecting to a TCP port from the CLI

Whether you're studying for a cert, starting a dev/sysadmin role, or just curious how the internet works under the hood, this one's for you.
