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.
