SafeLine is a self-hosted WAF(Web Application Firewall) to protect your web apps from attacks and exploits.
SafeLine WAF is a security product that helps freshman to safe their websites by using a one command simple installation and easy web control panel. As a freshman to web development and home-made servers, SafeLine WAF provided another shield for my website and server; at same time it provides more information for developing and analysis. Before using SafeLine WAF, I was using Nginx Proxy Manager(NPM) for proxy websites and adding SSL certificates to website, but after a friend recommendations to this security product, it replaced NPM and shows more information and also it add another filters to visitors. As a free plan user, it provides enough fundamental functions and data analysis for user to use. It covers almost all functions that NPM has and analysis charts or WAF like CloudFlare, but free plan has a lot of limitations.
I’ve been using SafeLine WAF for about 4 months now on two of my personal web apps. What I like most is how lightweight and easy it is to deploy — I had it running with Nginx in under 10 minutes, and the dashboard gives me exactly the info I need without being overwhelming. The bot protection works surprisingly well out of the box, and I’ve seen a noticeable drop in spammy traffic. I think the documentation could be improved to give more real-world config examples. Overall, for a free self-hosted WAF, it’s really solid. I’m considering upgrading to Pro if I end up needing more detailed traffic insights.
I'm a Pro user of SafeLine WAF, really impressed by how feature-rich and well-engineered it is. It offers anti-bot challenge, rate limiting, waiting room and identity authentication, robust custom rules etc. The threat detection engine is excellent — far more accurate than other similarly priced solutions I’ve tested. Everything is clear and powerful.
