Hi Safeline team,
I'm currently evaluating SafeLine Pro through the 7-day trial and have a few questions about how the protection mechanism works.
I noticed that SafeLine provides update options for things like the Malicious IP Group, Search Engine Spider, and JA4 Fingerprint Database.
However, I'm not sure how SafeLine handles newly disclosed web vulnerabilities or CVEs.
For example, when a new RCE, SQL Injection, or other web vulnerability is published:
I also have a few additional questions:
Thanks!

When new vulnerabilities emerge, we push Enhanced Rules to detect
In terms of threat detection capability, the update mechanism and protection engine are the same across Community (or Personal) Edition and Pro.
Pro's advantage is access to more advanced configuration features and flexibility.
Vulnerability protection updates are not tied to the license.
Detailed detection logic is not publicly available, it's part of our intellectual property.

i have 1 more question
Could you explain what "push Enhanced Rules" means in practice?
Are they automatically downloaded, included in new releases, or updated manually?
Carrie
Updated a month ago
They're shipped with version updates.
If there's a critical vulnerability, the enhanced rules get updated in the new release.

If Enhanced Rules are included in new releases, do I need to upgrade the Docker deployment (for example, pull a new image and recreate the containers) to receive them, or can they be updated independently?
If a Docker upgrade is required, how are user configurations preserved, such as IP allowlists/blocklists, custom rules and other settings? Is there an official upgrade procedure or documentation that explains the recommended upgrade process?

thanks,
i have a question
Does SafeLine support role-based access control (RBAC) for the management console?
For example, if a single SafeLine instance protects multiple domains, can different administrator accounts be restricted so that each admin can only view and manage their assigned domains, instead of having access to all applications?
Carrie
Updated 24 days ago
Currently, only two roles are supported: manager (full permissions) and read-only.
And we may add more roles in the future, but won't support configuring per-domain access permissions for individual admins.
May I ask what scenario would require such granular role segmentation?
If multiple teams or organizations are sharing a single SafeLine instance, to achieve the best performance with SafeLine, we strongly recommend that each team use an independent WAF instance.

Does SafeLine Pro come with direct technical support, such as private live chat or a dedicated support channel (beside discord cho for every user)? If not, which edition or plan includes that level of support?
Carrie
Updated 23 days ago
Pro generally doesn't include direct technical support. We do offer additional support packages. I can DM you the scope and pricing if you're interested.
If you purchase a Pro license without a support package, we generally still offer a certain level of email support and community support:
support@cyberserval.com (response times cannot be guaranteed; the priority is lower than for customers who have purchased a support package)Json_D

does Safeline have api security?
Carrie
Updated 22 days ago
If you're referring to protecting HTTP/HTTPS APIs from attacks, then SafeLine supports API protection because APIs are handled like other web application behind the WAF.
if you're referring to a dedicated API Security product like those offered by some enterprise vendors (e.g., API discovery, OpenAPI/Swagger schema validation, API risk posture management, business logic protection, sensitive data exposure detection, or API inventory), then no~

We're currently evaluating SafeLine Pro for enterprise deployment in our company, and we'd like to better understand some deployment and scalability aspects.

Regarding High Availability (HA):
SafeLine Pro has built-in Master/Slave synchronization. The slave node automatically stays synchronized with the master node in terms of configuration and data.
But SafeLine does not provide built-in load balancing or traffic steering. For multi-node deployments, you will need to use an external load balancer.
For the recommended HA architecture and configuration, please refer to this guide written by our R&D Director:
https://safepoint.cloud/discussion/DQ49tTjuc7#Prerequisites
Regarding Performance:
Please refer to the first part of the following doc for our hardware recommendations:
https://docs.waf.chaitin.com/en/License/Plan
As a general guideline:
1 CPU core + 1 GB RAM supports up to 800 QPS.
For each additional 800 QPS, we recommend adding:
Regarding Page Customization:
Yes, the user-facing pages are customizable, including the Block Page, Challenge Page, Waiting Room, and Auth Page. Please see the screenshot below.
Regarding Management Console Customization:
At the moment, the management console does not support customization or white-label branding.
Finally, SafeLine is designed as a community-focused product with an emphasis on being lightweight and cost-effective.
We also offer an Enterprise/Custom Edition, which natively supports load balancing, provides a centralized management platform for multiple nodes (which is not available in SafeLine), and supports UI customization, white-label branding, and dedicated one-on-one technical support.
If you're interested in learning more about the Enterprise/Custom Edition, I'd be happy to ask our Global Business Director to reach out!

i want to know more about safeline before i check the enterprise edition,
I have a few questions regarding SafeLine's logging architecture.
Carrie
Updated 20 days ago
Access logs are stored in: /data/safeline/logs/nginx/safeline
Other logs are stored in PostgreSQL database.
Log retention
In a **master/slave **deployment, only the configuration is synchronized. Logs are not synchronized between nodes.
Currently, each WAF node stores its own logs independently. It does not provide built-in centralized log collection or cross-node log search (outside of the Enterprise/Custom Edition).

If we deploy two SafeLine WAF nodes, is it possible for us to build our own management portal to manage both nodes? Does SafeLine provide APIs that allow us to manage configurations, rules, applications, logs, etc. from an external portal? If so, is there any API documentation or integration guide available?
