I’ve been looking for a good self-hosted WAF for a while. I tried Open AppSec — way too buggy. Then I gave BunkerWeb a shot, but the setup was just too complicated (maybe I’m just not that good 😅). SafeLine has a lot of paid features, but honestly, the Lite version already covers most of what I need. $100/year is pretty reasonable, rich features, the setup and configs are super simple.
I ended up going with Crowdsec.
The setup was a bit of a challenge as I like to do it the RTFM way abd that there is a bunch of concepts to grasp before you really understand what you are doing, but since then it's been working pretty great ! And it's free (as in you are providing them with data on the occurence of threats etc, so you don't pay)
