Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
> ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
This might be of interest to some: https://www.modsecurity.org/
> Trustwave is announcing the End-of-Life (EOL) of our support for ModSecurity effective July 1, 2024. We will then hand over the maintenance of ModSecurity code back to the open-source community.
Probably not too big of a deal, though.
Also, this might be useful: https://owasp.org/www-project-modsecurity-core-rule-set/
Though there has been some critique of ModSecurity and that ruleset in the past, as something dated and with false positives.
Anyone have any good alternatives?
Openresty with a few Nginx modules and Lua scripts can go a long way for many use-cases mentioned:
- ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
- L7 Rate limiting: https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-limit-traffic
- Cache: https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge . Or use varnish which gives you VCL for high configurability
- CDN: https://github.com/taythebot/lightpath . This project seems to be a WIP which you can use as a starting point for your needs. You will also need to find good enough "edge" locations for your CDN.
Similarly, HAProxy does a lot of stuff with the correct config and is also extensible using Lua:

WAF with reverse proxy
Is there a reason no one hasn't made a Docker template for OWASP Coraza (https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza) or ModSecurity (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity) for the use of a reverse proxy?

NGINX WAF alternatives: App Protect vs. ModSecurity vs. open-appsec
ModSecurity is an open source project, with its codebase open for third-party contributions. It has an active GitHub community of open source developers who maintain the project and fix issues. You can easily fork this WAF and tune features yourself. However, with its backing organization announcing ModSecurity's end of support, you can expect little to no active development from the vendor in the future.
Since Nginx has different use cases, protecting your application depends on how and where you use it. It's recommended that you have a reliable WAF solution since they block most harmful requests in the first place. In this article, you'll compare three tools—ModSecurity, F5 Nginx App Protect, and open-appsec—based on their active development, advanced security features, and open source commitment to help you figure out which tool is right for you.

What (software, open source) WAF are you using with (open source) Nginx?
I'm currently erring toward ModSecurity & the Nginx connector now that it's been de-Apache'd.

WordPress sites getting hacked ‘within seconds’ of TLS certificates being issued
Is anyone on HN doing WordPress administration? I recently 'inherited' a webshop built on WP/WooCommerce, and all the conflicting security advice in the WP space is making my head spin.
There are a dozen competing 'security' plugins, with some saying 'you don't need any of them, WP is secure enough by default', and others saying 'you actually need ModSecurity [1] / Jeff Starr's nG firewall [2]'.
The agency that (shoddily...) built the webshop installed Wordfence Free [3], so I've just kept that for now, though I feel it's kind of slow (but that might just be caused by the bottom-of-barrel performance of the shared webhost it's currently running on).

Bulletproof at home hosting?
When it comes to your application: I don't know how tech-savvy you are, and I'm not sure if you're worried about someone breaking into your webapp, but you could look into setting up security extentions like snuffleupagus (PHP) and SpiderLab's ModSecurity WAF for Apache and nginx for which OWASP has a great, free ruleset
