I came across Safeline through a Meta Ads. The ad was run by a web dev based in Indonesia who offers a course on how to secure WordPress websites against hacking.
After reviewing the course modules listed on the landing page, I noticed that Safeline was mentioned and that it can be integrated with Cloudflare.
This caught my interest, so I decided to do some research.
I then looked into third-party benchmarks and evaluations of Safeline’s protection capabilities and found the following articles:

https://medium.com/@tvvzvpb186/which-open-source-waf-really-delivers-a-head-to-head-benchmark-37631e08fb7f
Based on the benchmark data presented in those articles, Safeline appears to perform well in blocking common web application attacks.
That said, this is purely based on third-party analysis. I have not personally used Safeline in a production environment yet.
I should also mention that I am not an IT developer or sysadmin by profession. My background is primarily in digital marketing, so I fully understand that many people in this forum have far deeper technical expertise than I do.
That said, I find Safeline interesting due to its feature set and open-source offering, which prompted me to explore it further and request the app here.
