Hello,

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

I'm getting 502 Bad Gateway.

Thanks.

No because you're most likely the only one running a SearXNG instance on that VPN public IP. Google will eventually cross reference information and figure out that queries coming from that IP are only yours.

Not so sure about that, are SearXNG immeadiately identifiable as such, if not it just looks like any other search. Also does the evil eye actuaully care about edge cases like self hosted SearXNG? Still, might be nice to rotate the exit node...

ETA I also keep google off for default searches, and use it by bang only when other things fail, a rare occurrence.
