Blockade is an easy to use firewall and security library for PHP and the Symfony HttpKernel.

It uses the `kernel.exception` event to listen for instances of `BlockadeException` and return a response, depending on the type of exception thrown. These exceptions can be thrown at any point in the request, and it's straightforward to create custom exceptions.

Resolvers are responsible for converting an exception to a response, such as an access denied page or a redirect to a login form. A single resolver doesn't have to support every exception or return a response. For example, a resolver that logs unauthorized requests would only listens for `AuthorizationException`, leaving another resolver to create a response.

A `FirewallListener` can be set up to check incoming requests and throw `AuthenticationException`, `AuthorizationException` and `AnonymousException` for you.
