Hello,  
I installed the Suricata-IDS on CentOS 8 via “yum” command. I like to configure it as an IPS. This [https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-5.0.3/setting-up-ipsinline-for-linux.html?highlight=ips](https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-5.0.3/setting-up-ipsinline-for-linux.html?highlight=ips) tutorial use “iptables” but I’m using “Firewalld”. Any tutorial with “Firewalld”?

Thank you.
