Quick Start: Your First Setup
Overview
Securing your network takes only a few minutes. This quick start guide outlines the three mandatory steps required to activate cloud filtering and immediately protect your main location.
To complete this setup, you will need administrative access to your local router, firewall, or DNS server to modify its network settings.
The Setup Process
Getting started depends entirely on your chosen deployment method. Since protecting a physical office requires different steps than securing roaming laptops or internal active directories, you must follow the specific setup guide tailored to your infrastructure.
If you are unsure which configuration to use, review the "Choosing Your Deployment Method" guide first to determine the best approach for your organization.
