About SafeLine

SafeLine is a web application firewall that runs as a reverse proxy in front of your web applications, filtering traffic to protect them from attacks and exploits. It is deployed with Docker Compose and managed through a web interface.

The project has a public demo, documentation and a Discord community, and is widely used on GitHub. It suits self-hosters and small teams who want a WAF they run on their own servers rather than a cloud service.

Strengths

  • Self-hosted WAF and reverse proxy in one
  • Deployed with Docker Compose
  • Web management interface with a live demo available

Limitations

  • Requires your own server and ongoing maintenance
  • Rules may need tuning to avoid blocking legitimate traffic
