## Development Motivation:
- **Lightweight**: Initially, I used some security products based on nginx, apache, and iis plugins for protection, but the plugin form had a high coupling degree.
- **Privatization**: Later, most cloud protection services were adopted, but private deployment is affordable only for medium and large enterprises, while small companies and studios find it costly.
- **Privacy Encryption**: During web protection, it is preferable to process local data without sending it to the cloud. The goal was to create a tool that encrypts local information and network communications for the management end.
- **DIY**: Over the years of website maintenance and development, there were specific functions I wanted to add but couldn't achieve.
- **Awareness**: If the webmaster has never used a similar WAF, it is inconvenient to understand who is accessing the site and what requests are being made solely from logs or nginx, apache, IIS, etc.

In short, the goal was to create an effective tool for website or API protection to handle abnormal situations and ensure the normal operation of websites and applications.

## Start Access

http://127.0.0.1:26666

Default account: admin Default password: admin868 (Please change the default password upon first login)

## Upgrade Guide

**Note: The upgrade process will terminate the service, please upgrade during off-peak hours.**

### Automatic Upgrade
If a new version is available, an upgrade prompt will pop up for confirmation, allowing you to initiate the upgrade. The page will automatically refresh after the upgrade is complete.

### Manual Upgrade
- For direct launch:
1. Close the application.
2. Download the latest program and replace the existing files, then manually start it again.

- For service mode:
```
1. First, pause the service.

Windows: SamWaf64.exe stop
Linux: ./SamWafLinux64 stop

2. Replace with the latest application files.

3. Start the service:
Windows: SamWaf64.exe start
Linux: ./SamWafLinux64 start
```

**Note**: Upgrading the Windows service may trigger security rules from 360 or Huorong, preventing the new files from being replaced normally. In this case, you can manually replace the files. Those familiar with this area can help determine the correct handling method.
