    This document provides an overview of how the internet, web pages, and communication works. It explains that computers connect to the internet and are assigned IP addresses, and how DNS is used to translate URLs into IP addresses to locate web servers and send requested web pages from the server to the user via divided packets. It also defines web browsers and servers, and discusses some cybersecurity concerns like DNS hijacking and DDoS attacks, as well as solutions like CDNs.
