If you use my SearXNG instance however, the built-in limiter plugin will
collect your IP address in hashed form. Hashing is a one-way encryption
method that allows data to be encrypted, but not decrypted. This means
that the server does not learn your real IP address, but only a one-way
encrypted version of it so that it can detect IP addresses that behave
maliciously and rate limit connections from those. Furthermore, this
database of hashed IP addresses is stored in memory only, and is not
used for any other purpose than rate limiting. A single hashed IP
address is stored for a maximum of 10 minutes after the last request
from it.
