Suricata as a Firewall options (experimental)
---------------------------------------------
It is possible to run Suricata as a firewall.
Please read :ref:`Firewall Mode Design <firewall mode design>` before using this.
The existing yaml configuration options are listed below. If the engine is run
in firewall mode, dedicated stats counters will be added to the stats logs.
To see the stats counters reported for the firewall, refer to :ref:`firewall mode stats`.
