    When people self host searx and 4get, is it meant to be local use too, or is it only for public use? (or both?)

    Like would it be stupid if I host searx but only for local use? How does it even work?

      Both.

      Ideally, if you’re hosting a private one, it’s better to share it with your friends since it helps to obfuscate the traffic.
