What is Infra Struggles?

Welcome! If you’ve ever spent hours debugging why a network won’t route, cursed at DNS for the millionth time, or questioned your life choices at 3 AM while fixing a production outage, you’re in the right place.

This blog is about real-world IT infrastructure - the good, the bad, and the “why is this even happening?” moments we all face.

What You’ll Find Here

• Networking deep dives - From VLANs to BGP to “why can’t I ping?”
• Security practices - Hardening systems, understanding threats, staying paranoid
• Home lab adventures - Building, breaking, and learning on your own hardware
• Linux administration - Command-line tips, system management, troubleshooting
• Monitoring & observability - Because you can’t fix what you can’t see
• War stories - Real incidents, lessons learned, scars earned

Who Am I?

An infrastructure engineer with years in the trenches - networking, security, systems administration. I’ve built networks, defended them, broken them (accidentally), and fixed them (eventually).

This blog is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, hoping it saves you a few hours of Googling or an unnecessary coffee-fueled panic attack.
