SafeLine (Thunder Pool) is an open-source Web Application Firewall (WAF) developed by the domestic security vendor Chaitin Technology. The project is licensed under the GPL-3.0 open source license and is based on the Nginx reverse proxy architecture, which can be deployed in front of the web server to help intercept risks such as SQL injection, XSS, malicious scanning, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and automated attacks.
Unlike traditional firewalls that rely on fixed rule matching, Thunder Pool incorporates intelligent semantic analysis capabilities to identify threats from request content and attack behaviors, reducing the issues of missed interceptions caused by simple obfuscation and encoding bypass methods. It supports quick installation via Docker, with a low configuration threshold, making it easy for individual webmasters, small teams, and self-hosted service users to get started.
Quick Deployment: Supports one-click installation via Docker; after executing the official command, you can access the management backend without the need to manually set up a complex protection environment.
Reverse Proxy Protection: Takes over website traffic through Nginx reverse proxy, conducting detection and interception before requests reach the origin server, effectively adding a layer of "bulletproof vest" to the website.
Intelligent Semantic Detection: Built-in semantic analysis engine can recognize common web attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, command execution, and path traversal, while enhancing the ability to identify obfuscated attacks and unknown threats.
Human Verification: Supports CAPTCHA, dynamic encryption, and human challenges to defend against malicious crawlers, credential stuffing, account scanning, bulk registration, and automated script attacks.
Zero-Day Vulnerability Protection: Even in the absence of ready-made vulnerability rules, it can discover anomalies through request behavior and semantic features, improving the interception capability against unknown vulnerability attacks.
Multi-Site Management: The community version can be used to protect multiple websites, with personal editions supporting free access for up to 10 sites, suitable for personal projects, small websites, and lightweight businesses. Please refer to the official latest instructions for specific quotas.
Visual Backend: Provides a Chinese management interface to view attack logs, protection data, source IPs, request details, and site operation status, making daily maintenance more intuitive.
AI Integration: Supports integration with AI tools such as MCP Server, allowing users to query security data or perform some management operations using natural language, further lowering the operational threshold.
Open Source Self-Deployment: The core project is hosted on GitHub with publicly available code, allowing users to deploy it on their own servers, keeping data and website traffic under their control.
