Hey everyone !

I’m looking into spinning up a WAF as the number of services I’m hosting is slowly growing. I want to have a better understanding of the traffic and also have a relative peace of mind that if there is a flaw in one of the services I’m hosting, the WAF could help mitigate it.

I’ve seen two big names come up while searching :

  • SafeLine
  • BunkerWeb

They are popular and look quite good all around but I don’t want to just mindlessly take the project with the most GitHub stars.

What WAF are you using / have you used ? Which ones do you recommand ?

The fact that they lock Letsencrypt DNS-01 behind the pro version is so incredibly annoying.

Yeah, I use Caddy for that, as I only use DNS-01 for local-only services.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
