🛡️ VNShield Domain Setup Guide ​

Congratulations on securing your VNShield plan! To fortify your Minecraft server's defenses, follow these straightforward steps for a seamless domain setup.

Step 1: Complete Your VNShield Plan Purchase ​

Ensure your server's security is in capable hands by successfully completing the purchase of your VNShield plan. This is the first step towards a protected and worry-free gaming experience.

Step 2: Create a CNAME Record ​

Once you have purchased an VNShield plan, it is necessary to create a CNAME (Canonical Name) record. Head to your domain management and set it up. As an illustration, we'll gonna use the domain rosemc.net:

  • Name: mc, play or @ (If you use mc or play as the Record Name then you can connect to your Minecraft server using mc or play.rosemc.net or if you use the wildcard @ or rosemc.net then you will be able to connect to your Minecraft server using rosemc.net)
  • Value: location-name.vnshield.net (We will give you the location-name and help you setting the domain up after purchase)

Step 3: Set TTL (Time to Live) to the Minimum ​

Boost responsiveness by setting the TTL to the lowest possible value, normally this can be 1 min if you're using Cloudflare to manage your domains. This ensures rapid updates and minimal downtime during PoPs changes.

Step 4: Consider Cloudflare for Optimal Performance ​

For an extra layer of security and performance, we recommend using Cloudflare as your DNS provider. It adds robust features and enhances the overall reliability of your domain setup.

Step 5: Wait for the DNS changes and enjoy ​

After everything is set up, wait a little while for the DNS adjustments to take effect. After propagation, VNShield is ready to give you a stronger Minecraft experience!
