Disable WAF, only use reverse proxy, for ONE service only

Hi there,

Is it possible to disable the WAF component and keep only the reverse proxy setting for one service ?

I try to use Microsoft WSUS behind BunkerWeb and I have a hard time troubleshooting issues. The goal is to disable WAF features and enable them one by one until I understand why it doesn’t work like expected.

Thanks !

Hi @J-C-P,

What you can do is use the detect security mode and then check the false positives in the reports page of the web UI.

Hi Théophile,

Thanks for your quick reaction :slight_smile:

I tried that but I still have issues… Not sure why.

Do you confirm that the “detect” mode should allow everything to pass and if I still have issues, they are related to the reverse proxy configuration ?

Yes I confirm, although there can be exceptions like the max body size is still blocked even in detect mode as it’s an NGINX directive.

Thanks !

For the record, it still fails to connect.
It used to work when we used IIS with ARR module as reverse proxy.

I must have screwed up somewhere…
