Why take this course?

Internet Protocol Security, or what is known as IPSEC, is a VPN protocol suite widely used nowadays in our network to connect 2 or more offices securely to each other using the public internet service, and this will save for companies a lot of cost and time instead of using dedicated leased lines between their offices.

However, configuring IPSEC correctly is a challenge because IPSEC is considered as a Framework protocol which has many sub-protocols and phases under its umbrella.

I have designed this course to help you to understand how IPSEC works, that means that big part of this course is going to be a theoretical part explaining in details all parts of IPSEC. During this course, I will explain also about a lot of security terms that we always hear and is used on IPSEC such as: Encryption, Hashing, Authentication, Deffie-Hellman, Symmetric and Asymmetric keys, etc.....

After the theoretical part, I am going to do LABs where I will show you how to configure correctly IPSEC on MikroTik Routers and we will test it to see if it works good. The LABs will include both versions of IPSEC which are IKEv1 and IKEv2.

That's in brief what I am going to do in this course, of course more details will be shown in the lessons.

I can't wait to see you in my course .

This has been a best explaination in IPSec framework! Really explained in a simple way...I am giving 5 STAR as the content was explained in depth...the only thing i miss here and I dont want to cut any star for it, is some documentation, like PDF or something that we can keep for reference.

Wow. I can't believe I learned all this in college and for my CCNA and I didn't fully grasp it until this lecture! This guy made it so easy to understand, I can't thank him enough. I only wished he made more videos. Hands down, one of the best person to explain a complex theory so easily!

Good course on IPSEC. We can improve by adding more granular details of messages of IKE phase1 and phase2.

Richtig cool, sehr gute Mischung aus Theorie und Praxis. Es fehlten leider die Ansätze zum Debugging und Logging falls mal etwas nicht funktioniert wie erwartet. Gerne hätte ich noch die gezeigten Slides als pdf zum ausdrucken und mit persönlichen Kommentaren zu versehen.

Excellent course. Explains a fairly complex subject in an easy to understand manner. Only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because, the need for 2 phases in IKE was not clear to me. I had to lookup some material outside this course to understand that. But overall a course I would recommend to anyone looking to get an understanding of IPSec

The course gave me the required knowledge I needed. Just some questions that would help to be answered if there is a section for it.
