## Overview

CloudGuard WAF can be deployed as an add-on for NGINX or Kong, thus providing protection to any applications and APIs served by NGINX Reverse Proxy.

{% hint style="info" %}
The CloudGuard WAF Nano Agent attaches itself to the traffic being **proxied** by the Proxy Server or API server.

If the server serves applications locally, and does not serve as a proxy between an exposed domain and an internal one - the Nano Agent can still inspect the traffic if you change the port for the local applications to a higher port, and add a proxy rule between the exposed listening domain and port, to the same local machine at a higher port.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/linux.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
