Support Geek University

Learn how voluntary donations help maintain free Geek University IT courses and articles, and how to contribute securely through PayPal.

Why donations matter

A donation is a voluntary financial contribution made to support the continued operation and development of a resource. Donations to Geek University help maintain and expand a free technical-learning website.

Creating educational material requires time for research, writing, editing, publishing, and maintenance. Financial support also helps cover the tools, services, hosting, and other operating costs involved in keeping technical courses and articles available.

Donations are optional. They are not required to read the material, create an account, or access courses.

Free access for every learner

Geek University provides courses and technical articles without a paywall. A paywall is a restriction that requires payment before a visitor can access content.

  • Courses and articles remain available without a mandatory payment.
  • Account registration is free and optional.
  • Visitors can access publicly available learning material even without registering.

If you regularly use free networking tutorials or other lessons, you can choose to contribute while continuing to use the existing material without a subscription.

What your support helps sustain

Geek University is a substantial collection of IT courses and technical articles authored and maintained by the site creator. Support helps make continued research, writing, publishing, updating, and technical maintenance possible.

Future and ongoing work can cover a broad range of subjects, including:

  • Open-source PBX administration and Asterisk. An open-source PBX is software used to route and manage telephone communications, while Asterisk is an open-source platform commonly used to build telephony solutions.
  • Process Explorer and Windows diagnostics. Process Explorer is a Windows utility for inspecting running processes, related resources, and system activity.
  • IP video surveillance, which uses network-connected cameras and IP networking for video monitoring.
  • CCNA and foundational networking education. CCNA is Cisco's networking certification track covering core networking knowledge and skills.

Donor support helps keep future educational material freely available to learners who may not be able to pay for training.
