NAT explanation

 NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a technology used to allow multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address.

With NAT, each device on the private network is assigned a unique private IP address. When a device on the private network wants to communicate with a device on the Internet, NAT maps the private IP address of the device to the public IP address of the network. This allows multiple devices on the private network to share a single public IP address, and helps to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available.

There are two main types of NAT:

  1. Static NAT: This type of NAT maps a single private IP address to a single public IP address. This is typically used when a device on the private network needs to be accessible from the Internet, such as a web server or a remote desktop.

  2. Dynamic NAT: This type of NAT maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address. This is typically used in networks where multiple devices need to access the Internet, but only a single public IP address is available. Dynamic NAT maps private IP addresses to the public IP address dynamically, as needed.

In addition, there is another type of NAT called Port Address Translation (PAT), which allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address by mapping multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address, but using different port numbers. This allows multiple devices to communicate with the Internet using the same public IP address, but with different port numbers to distinguish between the different devices.

Overall, NAT is an important technology that allows networks to conserve the limited number of public IP addresses available, while still allowing multiple devices to access the Internet. The type of NAT that is best suited to a particular network will depend on the network's requirements, such as the number of devices that need to access the Internet, and the level of security required.

labs we did with juanma

Yesterday Juanma put a labs about connecting switches and routers between them to give wifi to our pcs but we had a problem with the switches and routers because it didn't work. for our luck Juanma helps us after a long time with a lot of errors in the switches and routers, but we had another problem that we didn't have the infratestructure that juanma said to have and when he asked us to do a wireshark to search the apache it didn't show in the wireshark because we didn't mount it in the debian we only had the dhcp. the other day we had another problem with the same thing (not the infrastructure but the switches and routers) and I hope that the next time he will say to do the labs again we will do it perfect.

Today's class (Raúl García)

 I started my day with AWS class, we had to make diferent virtual machines on amazon web services, so we could put a web page, on which you had to register to see it. I wasn't sure about how to make the "EC2 instances" so I had to watch a YouTube video, I didn't had enought time, but next week we will have more time. Next we had english class, we started with an exam, for me it was easy, so I didn't had any problem there. After that the teacher presented the new project we had to do, on which que have to make a job interview with a teammate in two weeks. I will make the project with Samuel, he is one of my best friends here in puenteuropa, we will do great for sure!

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...
