Your site talks of BunkerWeb PRO, which is, by the sound of it, not open source. But I have no idea what is actually different about it: https://panel.bunkerweb.io/knowledgebase/105/What-is-BunkerW... flatly doesn’t answer the question: “additional features and services responding to professional needs” is impressively vague.

I just love this project! BunkerWeb was a huge help when I was self-hosting my products with Docker Swarm. It offers tons of configuration options—especially useful for those needing a WAF and dealing with heavy bot traffic.

Since moving to Kubernetes, I haven’t used or evaluated it there yet, but kudos to the team for continuing to update and improve the project. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words!

Kubernetes integration is really awesome, you can use BunkerWeb ingress controller or mix it with an existing ingress controller.

While neat, I feel like in the current age of "let's throw shitloads of packets and see how they like that", this solves _a problem_, but I feel that most of the security products solve it by anycasting IP ranges.

Neat to see another use case for NGNIX though!

How is this better than Caddy?
bnkty · 2 months ago
Caddy does not offer full application protection besides HTTPS and basic stuff.

What's the benefit of just using plain owasp modsecurity?

It also exists as a docker container as an nginx reverse proxy with modsecurity extension.

ModSecurity doesn't offer antibot, bad behavior, certificate management, ... You can find the full list of features here : https://docs.bunkerweb.io/latest/features/

looks very cool, I could use this. Given how much I have watched all sorts of automated things hammer websites on multiple servers, I believe everyone should use something like this.

Had a hard time finding the premium version price, aka pro - saw $170 and thought to myself, I don't know. Then I saw it was a monthly fee.

$1500 per year, and I'm not sure what 10 services even means, for me I'd probably need more, and I wouldn't spend 1500 on it if it was a one time lifetime.

I get that I am not the target market. I just wish it was faster to find that out.

Glad I didn't waste more time looking at the cool features.

What % of cloudflare's protection can this provide? I've been looking at bunkerweb + anubis as alternative to cloudflare tunnel (im actually not sure if this provides WAF)
SkyPuncher · 2 months ago
This isn't really comparable to any of the SaaS based products.

While this offers many of the same technical capabilities as Cloudflare, a lot of Cloudflare's value is in having high-level, aggregate insight into threats.

Is there a significant difference between this and nginx proxy manager?
justusthane · 2 months ago
They're both reverse proxies built on nginx, but the whole point of BunkerWeb is that it's a WAF, which NPM is not, so that's a significant difference.

In short, NPM doesn't do any of the stuff listed under Security Features here: https://docs.bunkerweb.io/latest/#security-features

NPM will automate Let's Encrypt certificate generation but you're right about the other listed features.
