What are the ways/tools for training?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Hello. Please don't close my question as I can't find answers to this.
I have a router and 2 computers (both Windows 7, and Linux (so you can give advice on that too)).
I'm interested in ways to learn, practice with networks, protocols, accesses, etc.
For example, how can you implement an FTP server and access it from one computer.
How to make remote control to computers without white ip.
How to block access to sites on one computer, for example, using XAMPP, but instead of the standard page about the unavailability of the resource, display your own HTML (or what other tools can be used to do this).
How exactly do the protocols work? How HTTP requests go from computer to computer. Maybe there are monitoring systems, where it can be seen, etc.
How can you try to carry out a MITM attack on your home network?
Etc. etc.
Maybe there are books for beginners or articles for who knows, resources, etc.
