### **3. Configure network settings**

In the **Edit protected network** view, configure the following:

* **GRE endpoint**
  * Enter your GRE (generic routing encapsulation) endpoint IP address.
  * This is the IP address where traffic will be tunneled.
  * Example: `203.0.113.1`
* **Protection profile**
  * Select a protection profile from the dropdown list.
  * Default option: only the **Basic** protection profile is available initially.
  * You can create custom profiles later.

### **4. Save the configuration**

* Review all settings.
* Click **Save changes** to apply the configuration.

<Note>
  Note

  * The **Basic** profile provides standard DDoS protection.
  * You can create and apply custom protection profiles later.
  * Changes take effect immediately after saving.
