So I am embarking on setting up a home lab, I know most technical stuff "well enough" but network stuff is the one area I really really suck at. Like I understand the basics, like what a router is/switch and what DNS/DHCP for the most part are, but past that is where my knowledge starts to fall apart.

It's unfortunately just not an area i've been exposed to. So when I hear things like reverse proxy or forward proxy for stuff for home lab I realize i'm a bit out of my element there.

Is there a video or something similar that goes over "enough" basics to these things. I don't need like a whole course to get my cert or anything, but just enough to understand what these terms mean and what's happening under the hood to where I can at least mostly figure out what to do in regards to a home network?

I saw something like this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIhvC56v63IJVXv0GJcl9vO5Z6znCVb1P but I don't know if I necessarily need 'all of that' or if thats even a good playlist.
