How to Enable Dynamic Protection in SafeLine WAF for Enhanced Security

Introduction

Dynamic Protection is an exciting new feature introduced in version [6.0.0] of the SafeLine WAF Community Edition. As part of advanced site protection, this feature is designed to automatically encrypt the HTML and JavaScript source code of websites dynamically. The goal is to prevent analysis by web crawlers and automated attack tools, significantly enhancing your website's security.

Though still in its BETA phase in version [6.0.0], Dynamic Protection is available for users to test and experience. The feature is powered by the newly added safeline-chaos container, which processes the website's source code, applying encryption techniques that make it difficult for automated tools to mimic normal user behavior.
