minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•4 months agoDumb question, why do you need VPN to use SearxNG?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoYou don’t, I like it coz it minimizes profiling for the component search engines, and gluetun is right there, just point SearxNG at the proxy. I still get reasonable localized results by chosing a nearby exit node.

This is without me knowing a ton about this specific piece of software. Aside from that, I don’t toggle my VPN on and off on a per-site basis.
