Reverse Proxy or Transparent WAF? A Checklist for Web Teams
Ask five questions before deployment: Can the origin be restricted? Who terminates TLS? Where are logs collected? How will bypasses be detected? What is the rollback path?
A reverse-proxy WAF makes these decisions explicit in the HTTP path. A transparent design may reduce topology changes but can require more network-level coordination. SafeLine’s documented deployment model is a self-hosted reverse proxy, so use the official guide to validate fit.
