A lightweight Web Application Firewall (WAF) implemented with Nginx + Lua (OpenResty). It provides IP black/white lists, URL and User-Agent filtering, CC attack protection, and JSON-format attack logging.

Use cases

  • protect nginx-hosted sites from common web attacks
  • block malicious IPs with a blacklist
  • rate-limit requests to mitigate CC attacks
  • filter suspicious URLs and query parameters
  • log blocked requests in JSON for ELK analysis

When to choose

  • you already run Nginx or OpenResty and want simple built-in WAF protection
  • you need lightweight, rule-based filtering without a separate appliance
  • you want JSON attack logs for centralized analysis

When to avoid

  • you need advanced WAF features like full OWASP CRS coverage or machine-learning detection
  • you want a managed or actively developed commercial-grade firewall
  • you don't control your Nginx/OpenResty configuration
