Please Whitelist This Site?
I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)
If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely, Charles Kozierok
Author and Publisher, The TCP/IP Guide
Welcome to the free online version of The TCP/IP Guide! My name is Charles and I am the author and publisher. I hope you will find the material here useful to you in your studies of computing, networking, and programming.
Here are a few tips, links and reminders to help you out:
Last but definitely not least: this site is provided as an online reference resource for casual use. Please do not use software to try to mass-download the pages of this site. The site contains over 1,500 pages, and doing this severely degrades server performance, making it difficult for others to use the site. For this reason, you risk having your access to the site blocked by an automatic script if you try to do this.
If you like The TCP/IP Guide enough to want your own copy in convenient PDF format, please license the full Guide. I would also appreciate it if those who are using the Guide extensively for commercial purposes would license it. And now, you can also get The TCP/IP Guide as a print book!
Thanks again and enjoy the site!
Charles
