    |__ fireline.php

In the /fireline/src/Fireline.php file:

Set Firewall configuration in configs array.

$current_request = [
           ...
           'configs' => [
               'bypass_firewall' => false,
               'strict_mode' => false,
               'ip_by_country' => false,
               'whitelist' => false,
           ],
       ]; 

bypass_firewall: will by-pass the firewall totally.

strict_mode: will activate the normalizer to catch more exploits.

ip_by_country: will block ips from countries via country ISO codes. (see src/Compares/ip_block_by_country.php for rules)

whitelist: will activate the whitelist (see src/Compares/ips_white_list.php for rules). When the "whitelist" is active, then the "blacklist" is inactive and when the "whitelist" is inactive, the "blacklist" is active.

Other included filters: Bot blacklist, Query protection, SQL injection, and XSS.
