# Creating A Portal

Due to the significant increase in Safeguard usage recently, and to avoid overuse of bot server resources, after purchasing the ETH SOL trending, you are eligible to use Safeguard in your group.

A portal is the most secure way to protect your group, blocking bad actors with multiple security levels and keeping your group safe. Safeguard offers the most secure portal on Telegram with over 100,000 malicious bot accounts blocked from your group

Tip: When making a portal, ensure your group where people talk is private and the channel with the portal is public, otherwise the portal is useless

### Fast Setup <a href="#fast-setup" id="fast-setup"></a>

Fast Setup is the recommended way to setup a portal for your group. To setup portal follow the steps below:

1. Message Safeguard `/setup` in a private chat
2. Click 'Select a group' and choose your group
3. Click 'Select a channel' and choose a channel where the portal will be posted
4. Done! Create the portal or configure options first. More indepth details below

***When using fast setup you don't have to add Safeguard in beforehand, it's all done automatically for you!***

### Old Setup <a href="#old-setup" id="old-setup"></a>

To setup a portal the old fashioned way type `/oldsetup` in a group. This can be done if you don't have sufficient permissions or have an old Telegram client that doesn't let you do fast setup

Once this message is received, make a **channel** and add Safeguard in as an admin. This must be a channel, groups won't work for your portal.

Finally, **forward** this exact message into your new channel by right clicking and forwarding it. Done! Your portal is created.
