Resources for learning Linux Networking (iptables, namespaces, firewall, NAT, interfaces...)? preferably text resources (books, articles, etc) - eviltoast

Hi all,

I am looking for recommendations on resources to learn Linux networking. I am primarily hoping for text resources such as books, guides, blog series, articles, etc. I have trouble focusing on videos.

I am mainly targeting linux networking topics, such as how the linux networking stack works, and things like iptables, network namespaces, network interfaces, sockets, NAT, firewalls, internal IP-addressing, subnetting, routing, proxying, internal DNS, and anything that I may not know exists but is related to these concepts and linux networking in general.

Any recommendations?

    If you are familiar with the concepts and are looking more for the specific details, you can probably go a long way with official docs (iptables, nftables, kernel), the arch wiki, man pages, and some hands-on.

      I’m not super familiar. I was blindly fighting iptables with some WireGuard tutorials and also getting into the weeds of container orchestration.
