Protect a website

This guide will show how to have a website protected with Cloudflare and a Minecraft protected with TCPShield. This guide assumes you have a domain on Cloudflare already.
Step 1: Login and remove existing records
First, we need to protect our web server with Cloudflare. Let's log into Cloudflare and do that.
Click here when you login
Now we will add our web server to Cloudflare. First we need to see if there are any DNS records already pointed to @ (the base domain) or www.
This guide will assume example.com is my domain
127.0.0.1 is an example in this case
Step 2: Add your web server IP
Now, we will add our web server to cloudflare and proxy it. We can do that like this.
Click here
Create the new DNS record
If you would like www. to work as well, do the same thing again but replace @ with www
Step 3: Create the SRV record
Now we have protected our website on Cloudflare! Now we will make sure players can still connect with example.com using no subdomain.
Step 3.1: Point TCPShield CNAME to a target
Create a new DNS record like this
Create a new DNS record for the target
Step 3.2: Create the SRV
Now we make it so example.com takes you to your server on Minecraft. Copy the steps below.
Copy the settings above
Step 3.3: Done
It's as easy as one two three.
