NGINX WAF alternatives: App Protect vs. ModSecurity vs. open-appsec
ModSecurity v3 has also introduced major changes in how ModSecurity works. The entire WAF is not packed together anymore. Instead, the single libmodsecurity engine is paired with a connector module that interfaces the application with the server. Different connectors are available based on the server and are hosted as independent packages. This means that there's a separate ModSecurity v3 Nginx Connector project.

Passing variables from modsecurity to nginx
As far as I can tell there is a feature request and/or some custom method to pass variables from modsecurity back to nginx but I'm looking for the other way around

Differences beetwen lua-resty-waf and NGINX proxy manager?
I just learned about about https://github.com/p0pr0ck5/lua-resty-waf while looking into the topic how to secure my reverse proxy server, besides that I only read that this is pretty much NGINX security enhanced with some extra plugins and performance tweaks, other than that don't know nothing about it.
What are some alternatives?
