My Process in privacy(open for suggestions)
(lemmy.ml)
Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
If you are on Arch, then I recommend to self host SearxNG meta search engine. There is an AUR package that builds from source and makes it easy to install and update. So if you are on Archlinux and value privacy a lot, then there is no excuse to not use this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/searxng-git and https://docs.searxng.org/
So do you just leave you computer on all the time or do you only self host when you turn it on for personal use.
At the moment it is just for my personal use on my own single computer. It is local only and I cannot access it from local network either.
My plan is to figure out how to set it up securely for access on other devices in the house. But for that I would need a dedicated little server computer that runs 24/7. Maybe an used laptop, maybe a Raspberry Pi, but right now I can't afford it. I have a VERY old laptop and old Raspberry Pi 3b. I'm not sure if they are capable enough for this task. I have no plans to do a host for the internet.
Just noting you can have searxng on rhel and mint as well, I know those from experience.
Go on...
Oh sure, I wasn't implying its Archlinux only or anything like that. There are plenty ways to install SearxNG on other distributions, including using Docker in example. I just found the installation and setup in Archlinux thanks to the AUR package extremely easy, as it is not very different from installing any other package.
