What the heck is Searx?

Searx is a free metasearch engine with the aim of protecting the privacy of its users.To this end, Searx does not share users' IP addresses or search history with the search engines it gathers results from. Tracking cookies served by the search engines are blocked, preventing user-profiling-based results modification. By default, Searx queries are submitted via HTTP POST, to prevent users' query keywords from appearing in webserver logs. Searx was inspired by the Seeks project, though it does not implement Seeks' peer-to-peer user-sourced results ranking.continue on wikipedia

What the heck is dnscrypt?

DNSCrypt is a protocol that authenticates communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. It prevents DNS snooping. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses originate from the chosen DNS resolver and haven't been tampered with.https://dnscrypt.org/

Why the heck I combined those two?

Just for fun and provide better anommous internet surfing. All your DNS queries "from" Searx container is encrypted which prevents DNS snooping + Provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data

Run it

sudo docker run -d --name searx-dnscrypt -p 8888:8888 --dns=127.0.0.1 --restart always veerendrav2/searx-with-dnscrypt
