       Following instructions from https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/1r8cx4a/searxng/I was able to get searxng running locally in termux and I'm getting pretty good results and fast searches.#searxng #termux #selfhosted

       @sam How does it fare behind a residential IP?

       I've not had any issues so far except for a couple times when I was connected to a VPN. Then, some of the providers say "timeout" but I still got results from the others.

       @sam hey, I just followed the guide and got it working on my LAN (changed from localhost to private IP address). It's not the fastest guy, but..Thanks!

       Mine sometimes takes 2.5-3 seconds, but not always. It's not terrible, at least in my opinion. I mean, for me, 0.3 seconds or 2.5 seconds doesn't make any difference as long as I'm getting good results.

       I set up another instance of searxng, with similar settings.yml, but on a hosted Debian server. It looks like sometimes the search provider tried to give me a Captcha (search was quicker though)

       @sam had searxng running on a vps for some time, a while ago, but had to shut it down eventually, because it was often considered as bot activity.. different engine failures and I gave up.

       was anybody else using it? I'm wondering if I'll have less problems with just me and my wife and son using it (maybe not so many requests)
