# Setup Process The process for setting up TCPShield is rather straightforward. The process generally takes 15 minutes for those who are experienced with DNS and basic system administration techniques. If you are not familiar with DNS, following the general steps and copying our examples should be enough to get your server protected. However, we know this can be a confusing process, and we would be happy to [assist ](/contact.md)you at any step of the way. \ \ If you would like to get setup with TCPShield, head over to our[ panel configuration](/panel/panel-configuration.md) page to begin the process of configuring TCPShield for your server. We also provide videos for a quick start using TCPShield. Every step documented in our configuration docs have a corresponding video. {% embed url="" %} You can review the rest of the playlist [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq84gTsmpEQ\&list=PL3B7olIHt22M1ES_L91Op_cUwcLsW4aTe\&index=1). ## **Community videos** We also have another set of videos created by our community. If you have a video, please let us know and we will add it to this page! {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
