Description

What problem will this feature address?

Cloud systems often have web application firewalls to handle first line defense to catch initial attempts to break into the app. Adding this in will make the Dokploy solution more robust and stand it out from competing solutions.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see an interface that would allow the WAF to be enabled and apply some simple security exploit prevention to start. We could potentially utilize a Traefik plugin to allow for this.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Work arounds would be to use cloudflare however adding in a layered security approach would make the Dokploy solution more robust.

Additional context

I could work on this however we should have some general alignment on the proposed solution before proceeding.

Will you send a PR to implement it?

No
