The only way to place an appliance in front of API Gateway is to use a Private API. Point your clients into the appliance in the VPC which will then route to the API Gateway VPC endpoint.

Not answering your question but: why do you want to do this? API Gateway gives you the ability to "pull apart" each request; transform it and then reform a new request to the back end. What do you need the firewall to do that you can't do in API Gateway?
