 ```
 
+1. Zoraxy proxies traffic to the firewall application at the configured WAF URL
+2. The firewall app inspects the request inline
+3. If blocked (403), the plugin drops the request
+4. If allowed (2xx), traffic returns to Zoraxy on the return port for routing to the final backend
+5. If the firewall app is unreachable, the circuit breaker opens and traffic bypasses inspection (fail-open)
+
 ### Circuit Breaker
 
 If the WAF fails 5 times within a 30-second window, the breaker opens. All traffic bypasses inspection (fail-open) for 10 seconds. After the cooldown, the next successful health check closes the breaker.
 
 ### Health Check
 
-The plugin periodically sends a `HEAD` request to the WAF URL. If the WAF responds with < 500, the circuit breaker records success. If it fails or returns 5xx, it records a failure.

 ## Inspection Protocol
 
-The plugin sends this JSON payload to `{WAF_URL}/inspect`:
+The plugin proxies the full HTTP request to the WAF URL. The firewall application inspects it inline and returns an HTTP status code:
 
-```json
+- **200–299** → Traffic is clean, returned to Zoraxy for routing
-{
-  "method": "GET",
-  "url": "/some/path",
-  "host": "example.com",
-  "remote_addr": "10.1.0.5:12345",
-  "content_type": "application/json",
-  "content_length": 256,
-  "headers": {...},
-  "body_sample": "<first 4KB of request body>"
-}
-```
-
-The WAF inspects and returns an HTTP status code:
-- **200–299** → Request is clean, Zoraxy forwards to backend
 - **403** → Request is malicious, plugin blocks it
-- **5xx / timeout** → Plugin fails open, records breaker failure
+- **5xx / timeout** → Plugin fails open, breaker records failure
 
-Any WAF that accepts a POST and returns the appropriate status code is compatible. No special Wallarm integration required.
+Any firewall application that accepts proxied HTTP traffic and returns a status code is compatible.
