Hello, I’m Suresh. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my blog posts. I’m a Network Engineer based in the lovely city of London. I’ve been working with computers since I was about 12 years old, and my love for tech has never faded.
I don’t focus on writing SEO-optimized content, instead, I like to write about what readers genuinely want to see. If you’re looking for personal blog posts on Networking, Cloud, Automation or Homelabs you’ve come to the right place.



I spend a lot of time writing technical content, and I don’t put it behind a paywall or run annoying ads. If you like my work and want to support it (assuming you have some spare money to splash), you can subscribe to my blog with a monthly donation, which costs the same as a cup of coffee, or you can buy me a one-time virtual coffee here. Alternatively, you can also make a one-time donation here.
Why is some content now behind a paywall?
Unfortunately, AI companies scrape content from blogs like mine to train their models without any compensation. Putting some content behind a subscription is one way I can protect the work I put into writing these posts and keep the blog sustainable.
Does this mean the blog is no longer free?
Most of the content on Packetswitch remains completely free. Only the more in-depth course content is behind the subscription.
What do I get with a subscription?
You get access to all the paid course content on the site, including posts that go deeper into topics than the free blog posts.
I just want one topic, do I have to subscribe?
Not at all. If you’re only interested in a specific topic, you can buy the eBook instead. Each eBook covers a topic in full and is a one-off purchase.
What’s the difference between the eBooks and the subscription?
The eBooks are a one-time purchase and cover a single topic in a portable PDF or ePub format you can read offline. The subscription gives you ongoing access to all paid content on the site as it’s published.
