# Configure an Azure DDoS Protection Plan using Azure Firewall Manager
Azure Firewall Manager is a platform to manage and protect your network resources at scale. You can associate your virtual networks with a DDoS protection plan within Azure Firewall Manager.
> [!TIP]
> DDoS Protection currently doesn't support virtual WANs. However, you can work around this limitation by force tunneling Internet traffic to an Azure Firewall in a virtual network that has a DDoS Protection Plan associated with it.
Under a single tenant, DDoS protection plans can be applied to virtual networks across multiple subscriptions. For more information about DDoS protection plans, see [Azure DDoS Protection overview](../ddos-protection/ddos-protection-overview.md).
To see how this works, you create a firewall policy and then a virtual network secured with an Azure Firewall. Then you create a DDoS Protection Plan and then associate it with the virtual network.
## Create a firewall policy
Use Firewall Manager to create a firewall policy.
1. From the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), open Firewall Manager.
1. Select **Azure Firewall Policies**.
1. Select **Create Azure Firewall Policy**.
1. For **Resource group**, select **Create new** and type **DDoS-Test-rg**.
1. Under **Policy details**, **Name**, type **fw-pol-01**.
1. For **Region**, select **West US 2**.
1. Select **Review + create**.
1. Select **Create**.
## Create a secured virtual network
Use Firewall Manager to create a secured virtual network.
1. Open Firewall Manager.
1. Select **Virtual Networks**.
1. Select **Create new Secured Virtual Network**.
1. For **Resource group**, select **DDoS-Test-rg**.
1. For **Region**, select **West US 2**.
1. For **Hub Virtual Network Name**, type **Hub-vnet-01**.
1. For **Address range**, type **10.0.0.0/16**.
1. Select **Next : Azure Firewall**.
1. For **Public IP address**, select **Add new** and type **fw-pip** for the name and select **OK**.
1. For **Firewall subnet address space**, type **10.0.0.0/24**.
1. For **Azure Firewall tier**, select **Premium**.
1. Select the **fw-pol-01** for the **Firewall Policy**.
1. Select **Next : Review + create**.
1. Select **Create**.
## Create a DDoS Protection Plan
Create a DDoS Protection Plan using Firewall Manager. You can use the **DDoS Protection Plans** page to create and manage your Azure DDoS Protection Plans.
1. Open Firewall Manager.
1. Select **DDoS Protection Plans**.
1. Select **Create**.
1. For **Resource group**, select **DDos-Test-rg**.
1. Under **Instance details**, **Name**, type **DDoS-plan-01**.
1. For **Region**, select **West US 2**.
1. Select **Review + create**.
1. Select **Create**.
## Associate a DDoS Protection Plan
Now you can associate the DDoS Protection Plan with the secured virtual network.
1. Open Firewall Manager.
1. Select **Virtual Networks**.
1. Select the check box for **Hub-vnet-01**.
1. Select **Manage Security**, **Manage DDoS Protection Plan**.
1. For **DDoS Protection Plan Standard**, select **Enable**.
1. For **DDoS protection plan**, select **DDoS-plan-01**.
1. Select **Save**.
1. After the deployment completes, select **Refresh**.
You should now see that the virtual network has an associated DDoS Protection Plan.
