Looking for Recommendations - FOSS WAF (self.selfhosted)

Hey everyone !

I'm looking into spinning up a WAF as the number of services I'm hosting is slowly growing. I want to have a better understanding of the traffic and also have a relative peace of mind that if there is a flaw in one of the services I'm hosting, the WAF could help mitigate it.

I've seen two big names come up while searching :

SafeLine
BunkerWeb

They are popular and look quite good all around but I don't want to just mindlessly take the project with the most GitHub stars.

What WAF are you using / have you used ? Which ones do you recommand ?

I have been using BunkerWeb for the past 4 years and have been mostly happy with it. Its default settings are sometimes a bit agressive but you can change those globally or service per service.
