User builds custom WAF for homelab, inspired by Cloudflare

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user has developed a custom web application firewall (WAF) system for their homelab, named SOR. This system integrates with their existing Kubernetes infrastructure and edge ingress gateways to manage traffic and block malicious requests in real-time. The user was inspired by enterprise-level WAF solutions but found them too complex and expensive for personal use, leading them to build their own simplified version. Future plans include integrating agentic AI capabilities into the WAF for automated decision-making. AI

IMPACT Potential for agentic AI integration could lead to more sophisticated automated security measures.
