1. Install the HTTP firewall software on your server.
1. Configure the firewall to allow or block incoming traffic to your web server based on the defined rules.
1. Define the rules that the firewall should follow, such as blocking certain IPs or domains, limiting access to specific URLs, or monitoring and logging HTTP requests.
1. Implement SSL/TLS encryption to secure all HTTP traffic passing through the firewall.
