Thanks for sharing BW on HN !

I'd love to hear from somebody who has run this in production. What was your experience like? Would you recommend this?

I feel like the last several years have gotten many of us dependent on Cloudflare. I love Cloudflare, but I think it's healthy and important to have an open source WAF that is usable.

We try our best to fix critical bugs and enhance the user experience. I can tell you that BW is running in production for both homelabs and enterprise.

It's just a wrapper around the abandoned ModSecurity waf.

ModSecurity is just one security feature included into BW, you can find the full list here : https://docs.bunkerweb.io/latest/security-tuning/

Btw we also have plugins (e.g. coraza) as described here : https://docs.bunkerweb.io/latest/plugins/
