I spun up a docker container for searxng
-
Next step is to make it public to help other people and blend your data/traffic
-
Open a search app to the public? So their searches come from my IP address? No fucking way, unless I'm missing something.
-
My host-fu is weak and the uptime is terrivle right now... Trying to figure out why the container just crashed randomly
-
I'm still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?
-
It just culminates results from a bunch of other engines
-
It's basically a proxy for Google and other engines, think of it as a VPN for your searches.
-
I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?
-
Makes it harder to fingerprint/differentiate traffic
