I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with WAF, but a search has turned up a couple of topics which may/may not be useful?

[How to build a Discourse Installation with an Open Source WAF](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-build-a-discourse-installation-with-an-open-source-waf/130283)

[Discourse + Web Application Firewall (WAF) mod\_security](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-web-application-firewall-waf-mod-security/133612)

Is WAF something you definitely need?
