Im looking for free entry-level materials about self hosting and network architecture in general. I know that some professors put presentations for free on their websites. im looking for: e-books,lectures,tutorials,videos.
I suggest you reverse that order. If first you learn how to host your own matrix server, you’ll have a better idea of what part of “how networks work” you wan to learn.
Or maybe you decide you want a full graduation course on how network works so you can learn all of the basics. But either way, that first half is a large endeavor.
Agreed, networking knowledge can be pretty ephemeral if you don’t have a way to put it into practice and solidify that knowledge in your brain.
My suggestion would be to learn basic Linux and get a server up. Then learn firewall on that server and then how to configure and use a vpn on it - as a client AND a server. Then move on to switching and finally basic routing. At that point you’ll have enough general knowledge to know what you want to do next.

Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
