BunkerWeb is an open-source, next-generation Web Application Firewall (WAF) designed to protect web applications and APIs from a broad range of attacks. Operating typically as a reverse proxy, it inspects HTTP/HTTPS traffic in real time and applies customizable, rule-based filtering to block malicious requests. BunkerWeb defends against common threats such as SQLi, XSS, CSRF, file inclusion, malicious bots and DDoS-style abuse while helping prevent data leaks. Key capabilities described by the project include real-time threat intelligence updates, intrusion detection, rate limiting, and a flexible rule engine that can be tailored to specific application needs. The solution emphasizes transparency and sovereignty through its open-source model, and benefits from community-driven development and support. BunkerWeb aims to be easy to integrate within existing infrastructures and offers documentation and a GitHub repository for implementation guidance. Suitable for teams that want full control over their security stack, the product is presented as a cost-effective option with both a freely available core and cloud/managed offerings referenced on the project site.
