Why Everyone’s Talking About SafeLine — The Most Powerful Free WAF from Asia

From SQL injection to bot attacks, protecting websites is no longer optional — it’s essential. But what if you could get enterprise-level protection without the enterprise price?

Meet SafeLine — an open-source, self-hosted Web Application Firewall (WAF) from Asia that’s rapidly gaining global attention. And it’s free.


What Is SafeLine?

SafeLine is a powerful WAF developed by Chaitin Tech, based in Asia, with a mission to make high-quality web protection accessible to everyone. Whether you're running a personal project, a small business, or a large-scale deployment, SafeLine is designed to adapt.

Unlike cloud-only solutions, SafeLine is self-hosted, giving you full control over data, policies, and privacy.

Why SafeLine Stands Out

Here’s why SafeLine is becoming the go-to free WAF across Asia and beyond:

1. Completely Free for Personal Use

  • No credit card required
  • No traffic limit for the Community Edition
  • No limit on the number of rules

2. Advanced Protection

  • Blocks SQL injection, XSS, RCE, SSRF, and more
  • Bot protection and rate limiting
  • Real-time logging and visualization

3. Built-In Authentication System

Unlike most free WAFs, SafeLine includes:

  • Username/password login
  • Third-party authentication via OIDC, GitHub, LDAP
  • SSO (Single Sign-On) support
  • 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

It’s rare to see these features even in paid WAFs — SafeLine includes them for free.

4. Flexible Deployment

  • Docker support for easy setup
  • Compatible with VPS, and home servers

5. Built for Global, Rooted in Asia

SafeLine is proudly open-sourced by a leading cybersecurity company in Asia, with over 350,000+ installations worldwide. It’s trusted by developers, sysadmins, and security teams across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.


Who Should Use SafeLine?

SafeLine is ideal for:

  • Developers hosting their own apps
  • Homelab enthusiasts and tech hobbyists
  • Startups needing affordable security
  • Security teams wanting full control
  • Anyone tired of cloud lock-in and limited “free tiers”

Final Thoughts

In a landscape filled with paywalled features and cloud dependencies, SafeLine offers something rare: true freedom, power, and transparency — all for free. It’s not just Asia’s best free WAF — it’s one of the most impressive WAFs worldwide.
