looks amazing i will get it running today or tomorow to test it out

no

my issue is that search engine providers block my vps ip so im looking for the best option to get around this either vpn or proxy

no searxng functions as a proxy between the user an the search engine so if the search engine is blocking/rate limiting the searxng servers ip the only option is to use a proxy/vpn but the issue i run into with the vpn is i cant just install it because it will make ssh and the domain configuration not work so the only options are install the vpn inside of the docker container or if searxng has a config setting for it wich i need to look into still

i use a vps so ill see if somthing like mullvad could work thanks.

i want to keep it public is the thing
