    AgentGuard

    AgentGuard

    AgentGuard is a firewall for AI agents

    AgentGuard is a real-time protection layer designed to safeguard AI agents and applications from runaway execution, excessive costs, and unsafe behavior during interaction with large language model APIs. It works by intercepting API calls made by an AI system and continuously monitoring usage, including token consumption and associated costs, allowing developers to enforce strict budget limits. When predefined thresholds are reached, the system can automatically halt execution, trigger alerts, or gracefully terminate processes depending on the configured mode. This makes it particularly valuable in environments where agents operate autonomously and may enter unintended loops or inefficient workflows. The tool integrates directly into existing applications with minimal changes, often requiring only a few lines of code to activate protection. It also supports advanced configurations such as distributed tracking through Redis and webhook notifications for real-time monitoring.

    PeerGuardian

    PeerGuardian - a privacy oriented firewall application

    PeerGuardian is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origin seeds in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P. PeerGuardian Linux: Not developed actively anymore. Team might still be around. Some unreleased changes on git. Outdated technology. Peerguardian OS X: Not developed anymore. We've lost contact with the OS X developer. PeerGuardian Windows: Not developed anymore. It's highly recommended to use PeerBlock instead, which is a continuation of PeerGuardian's development in Windows, with bug fixes and support for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Collaboration with peerblock.com is welcome! PeerGuardian is an open project. Not only is its source code open for you to read, use, and modify - but the project is open for you to join and contribute in any form (code, documentation, bug reports, web and support).

    SafeLine

    SafeLine

    Serve as a reverse proxy to protect your web services from attacks

    SafeLine is a self-hosted WAF(Web Application Firewall) to protect your web apps from attacks and exploits. A web application firewall helps protect web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web apps from attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, code injection, os command injection, CRLF injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, RCE, XXE, SSRF, path traversal, backdoor, brute force, HTTP-flood, bot abuse, among others. By deploying a WAF in front of a web application, a shield is placed between the web application and the Internet. While a proxy server protects a client machine’s identity by using an intermediary, a WAF is a type of reverse-proxy, protecting the server from exposure by having clients pass through the WAF before reaching the server. A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application.

    CrowdSec

    CrowdSec

    Firewall able to analyze visitor behavior & provide adapted response

    CrowdSec - an open-source massively multiplayer firewall able to analyze visitor behavior & provide an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It also leverages the crowd power to generate a global IP reputation database to protect the user network. Crowdsec shouldn't, and didn't crash any production so far we know, but some features might be missing or undergo evolutions. IP Blocklists are limited to very-safe-to-ban IPs only (~5% of the global database so far, will grow soon). A modern behavior detection system, written in Go. It stacks on Fail2ban's philosophy, but uses Grok patterns & YAML grammar to analyse logs, a modern decoupled approach (detect here, remedy there) for Cloud/Containers/VM based infrastructures. Once detected you can remedy threats with various bouncers (block, 403, Captchas, etc.) and blocked IPs are shared among all users to further improve their security. Crowdsec is an open-source, lightweight software, detecting peers with aggressive behaviors.
