Hi,

NLB is a Lyer 3/4 component while WAF is a Layer 7 protection component.

That is why WAF is only available for Application Load Balancer in the ELB portfolio. NLB does not terminate the TLS session therefore WAF is not capable of acting on the content. I would consider using AWS Shield at Layer 3/4.

As stated above, WAF does not integrate with the NLB. Depending on your requirements, a Network Firewall may be appropriate.
