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
