Using a WAF is not a fancy thing. Little Z's blog has officially deployed a WAF in the environment to enhance website security. The open-source VeryNginx is used for implementation. If needed, you can refer to the documentation: OneinStack deployment of VeryNginx to implement WAF functionality.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a product that provides protection for web applications by executing a series of security policies specifically for HTTP/HTTPS. It is also known as a website application-level intrusion defense system.
If you accidentally trigger a WAF rule, your request will be intercepted. For example, if you try to request an illegal address like https://blog.xiaoz.org//www.zip%20Match1:www.zip%20Match2:/, it will have the same effect as shown in the image below.
