At that moment your network is not active, for it to be active you need to complete the 2 setup task showing on the screen :

* Set up your backend(s)
* Set up your domain / subdomains

### Backend set up

To create a new backend for your newly created network, simply click on the Setup button, and it will bring you to the  backend page

We support **IPv6** as backend for Java and Geyser with the format **\[fd42:42:42::1]:25565**

Once added, you can choose to use the plugin **OR** proxy protocol, if you use proxy protocol you don't need the plugin.

### Adding a new domain / subdomain

Once you added your backend, go back to the network overview page and click on Set up your domain

Before choosing a location, we suggest you to use our ping tool to make sure you select the best location&#x20;

Select your backend or manually input one&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/7zwbu44TvKpKFBfneYq3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then you will see the results and then choose the best CNAME location for your server&#x20;

When you chose the best location, you can go back to the domain tab and choose the location on the right

Copy the CNAME record and head to your DNS manager to create the following record&#x20;

Make sure to disable the Cloudflare proxy (Orange cloud), once it's done head back to the panel and add your domain / subdomain.

Now your network should be active :D&#x20;

You need to add all subdomains in Infinity-Filter for them to work, adding your root domain only will not work.
