Introduction

SafeLine is a powerful, open-source, self-hosted Web Application Firewall (WAF) designed to protect web applications from real-world threats like XSS, SQL injection, bot traffic, and more — all with a semantic analysis engine that goes beyond traditional rule-based protection.

Originally developed by Chaitin Tech, SafeLine now protects 1 million+ websites and handles 30+ billion daily requests in production environments.


Key Features

  • Semantic Detection Engine
    Understands the intent behind requests, not just patterns — detects obfuscated payloads, nested injections, and WAF bypasses.

  • Self-Hosted & Open Source
    Run it entirely on your own server or VPS. No cloud lock-in or external dependencies.

  • Easy to Deploy
    One-line Docker install and beginner-friendly UI. Great for both hobby projects and production workloads.

  • Real-Time Dashboard
    Monitor attacks, apply rules, and manage protection visually from a clean web console.

  • Bot Management
    Includes bot challenge support, anti-crawler detection, rate limiting, and more.


Why It Fits Your Homelab

If you're self-hosting apps, APIs, or dashboards at home, SafeLine adds a serious layer of protection — without introducing external dependencies. Lightweight, fast, and private.



We'd love to see SafeLine included in awesome-homelab!
