Marious does an awesome job of explaining VPN's! This course covers so much material, covering both theory and hands on examples which is what makes is so interesting to me. Marious's advice is very practical, and his years of experience in the field really shows. He definitely has a knack for keeping viewers engaged, I attribute my successful start in IT totally to his training videos. I always walk away from his video's with ideas for more projects, a deeper understanding of the networking topics he explains and the name of great gear I want to try out on my own home network! For anyone who wants to dive deeper into IT and Programming, they can find a lot of useful information here. I see VPN's used all the time in the cloud or across different company locations to access remote networks and secure their communication. Now with Covid more than ever VPN and Encryption are HOT topics to learn in tech. If you're just starting out this is absolutely must have information to be a leader in your IT role! Like the title says this is perfect for Advanced Beginners.

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.
