Offshore Hosting for a SearXNG Private Search Engine
SearXNG is a metasearch engine that aggregates results from many search engines without tracking the user. Self-hosting on an offshore VPS gives you (and optionally your community) a private search front-end that does not profile users or sell data. This page covers hosting SearXNG on an Anubiz offshore VPS.

We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
How SearXNG works
User queries SearXNG; SearXNG queries upstream engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, etc); SearXNG merges and returns the result. No tracking cookies, no user profile. The privacy benefit is real; the operational cost is moderate, particularly because some upstream engines rate-limit by IP.
Sizing
Personal or small community: 2 vCPU 2 GB RAM is plenty. Public instance with high traffic: 4 vCPU 8 GB RAM and consider rate limit handling. The cost scales with query volume more than with user count.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans from $17.90/mo. Crypto payment, no KYC. Internal links: /en/hosting-for-private-search-engine-yacy, /en/anonymous-vps.
Upstream rate limits
Heavy SearXNG instances can get rate-limited by upstream engines. Consider rotating outbound IPs or pacing queries. Public SearXNG instances on Anubiz routinely run without issue at moderate scale."
