Anecdote of a networking class (Marcos Samuel)

 Hello, I'm going to tell you a curious thing that happened to me during my first year at Puenteuropa, a professional training center. It was a very fun day for me because we were going to have a class on networks and we were going to climb up some ethernet cables for the first time.


Being the clumsy person that I am, I plugged in the RJ45 cable in both ends. When it came time to insert it into the NIC interface on the computer and seeing that there was no network, I thought I had made a mistake with the color order and immediately tried to remove the cable from the NIC.

NIC interface

I saw that it wouldn't come out and it was very hard to pull on it, so to avoid making a bigger mess, I called Juan Carlos and he saw that the RJ45 connected to the NIC was stuck for some reason, and then he called Roberto and he saw that the RJ45 I had previously climbed up was defective from the factory, I think the cause was that the pins on the RJ45 were one on top of the other or something like that.


In conclusion, I broke a network card or that's what I think. Since that day, I pay close attention to what I buy so that it doesn't have any defects. And finally, I felt a little bad for breaking that. (I don't know if Roberto was able to fix the network card, let's hope so).

vpn explanation

  A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that allows users to securely connect to the Internet over an untrusted network, such as a public Wi-Fi network. When a user connects to a VPN, the VPN server creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between the user's device and the VPN server. All data transmitted between the user's device and the VPN server is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access or interception. This allows users to securely access sensitive information, such as financial transactions or confidential business data, even when using a public Wi-Fi network or other unsecured network. VPNs are also useful for users who want to access content that is restricted by geographic location, such as streaming services or websites that are only available in certain countries. VPNs are typically used by individuals, businesses, and government organizations to protect their online privacy and security. There are many different types of VPNs, including remote-acces...

The wiring day (Raul Garcia)

This wednesday we had an special class. Instead of having or usual AWS lections, we had to make lots of Ethernet cables, wich, might sound boring, but sure it wasnt. We started slow, there was more than 2 hours left, and the recess was just around the corner, we only had to make 28 wires, which had to be more than 5 meters long. Only a few cables were made when the recess started, when we came back we kept going with our chore Every single wire had to be made with caution, just a small mistake and all the process had to be started again, which made the work quite stressful. Luckly I didnt make any mistake, and managed to make 4 cables. The last hour of the work was the worst, only then was when we realiced how many of them were missing, so all of us, tired and stressed started to make as many as possible to reach the goal. At the end all of the class managed to make 25 in total, which wasnt 28, but close enough to be ok. At least for me it was a really fun experience, and we will have ...

vpc explanation

  A VPC, or Virtual Private Cloud, is a virtual network infrastructure provided by cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure. A VPC allows users to securely and privately connect their cloud resources, such as virtual machines, databases, and applications, to the Internet. This provides the same level of security and privacy as a traditional on-premises network, but with the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. A VPC is essentially a virtual network environment within the cloud provider's network, which is isolated from other virtual network environments. This provides users with complete control over their network configuration, including the ability to define custom IP address ranges, subnets, and network access control lists (ACLs). VPCs also allow users to securely connect their cloud resources to other cloud services, such as storage services or databases, and to other resources in their own on-premises netw...
