SafeLine is a self-hosted web application firewall (WAF) that acts as an Nginx-based reverse proxy to protect web apps from attacks like SQL injection, XSS, RCE, brute force, and HTTP flood. It uses an intelligent semantic analysis engine for threat detection and includes bot protection, CAPTCHA, and DDoS mitigation.

Use cases

• protect my web app from sql injection and xss attacks
• self-hosted waf in front of my website
• block malicious bots and crawlers with captcha
• mitigate http flood ddos attacks
• reverse proxy with web security filtering
• prevent brute force login attempts
• shield a web server from zero-day exploits

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted WAF protecting web applications behind a reverse proxy
• you want semantic/ML-based detection with low false positives rather than pure rule matching
• you need bot protection, rate limiting, and HTTP flood defense in one deployable unit

When to avoid

• you need a host-based firewall or network-layer (non-HTTP) protection
• you cannot run Docker or a Linux-based proxy in front of your app
• you require a fully managed cloud WAF without self-hosting
