Hello,

searx.prvcy.eu has been dead for me for a couple of weeks now, anyone else?

I’m getting 502 Bad Gateway.

Thanks.

    You buy a VPS that has a static IP to run your private instance. Then search engines will log the VPS IP for every single search query, with a bit of time/data they’ll be able to tie that IP address to your profile. All it takes is for you to open a few websites that use google analytics with your adblocker disabled for some reason and… game over.

        I bet google has 200 more ways to cross records and detect whenever you’re proxying your queries.
