# dVPN Node Setup Guide

## Overview

If you want to contribute to the Qubetics network, you can set up a dVPN node that provides secure tunneling and decentralized routing services using the Qubetics protocol. Each node operator can configure their own pricing for users who route their traffic through the node’s secure tunnel. Users are free to choose which dVPN node they connect to based on their preferences.

Setting up a dVPN node requires some basic Linux experience; however, the process is straightforward and easy to follow. We recommend maintaining a minimum balance of **10,000 TICS** in your node account, along with additional TICS to cover transaction fees.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://qubetics.gitbook.io/qubetics-docs/getting-started/dvpn-node-setup-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
