# Firewalls Details

Generated on 15 Sep 2026

DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls are a network-based, stateful firewall service for Droplets provided at no additional cost. Cloud firewalls block all traffic that isn’t expressly permitted by a rule.

[Firewalls Features](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/firewalls/details/features/index.html.md): Firewalls place a barrier between your servers and other machines on the network to protect them from external attacks. Firewalls can be host-based, which are configured on a per-server basis using services like iptables or UFW. Others, like DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls, are network-based and stop traffic at the network layer before it reaches the server.

[Firewalls Pricing](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/firewalls/details/pricing/index.html.md): DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls are available at no additional cost.

[Firewalls Availability](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/firewalls/details/availability/index.html.md): Cloud firewalls are available in every region. A cloud firewall’s rules can include Droplets from any datacenter.

[Firewalls Limits](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/firewalls/details/limits/index.html.md): Limits and known issues for Firewalls.
