  • I like the idea of SearXNG, but I don’t see why so many people like it for self hosting. You’re still querying search engines with your IP which in many self hosted cases is the same IP as the one you browse the internet with. I think SearXNG is really good if you setup a service on a server IP (like a VPS) and it gets used by multiple people, or if you tunnel it trough a VPN, but then again you could also just VPN your search engine searches.

    So why do you like it? Is it for the aggregation of multiple engines? Or maybe the fact that it doesn’t link your specific browser to a search? I really wonder and am not hating.




  • I use Prowlarr with Flaresolverr.

    Setup the Flaresolverr indexer proxy in Prowlarr:
    - Tags: flaresolverr
    - Host: http://flaresolverr:8191/ (or whatever host+port your flaresolverr

    And then I use these:
    - 1337x (Add Tags: flaresolverr)
    - TorrentDownload
    - Knaben

    It’s not the best and Knaben is mostly just TPB + Rutracker. But this setup gets me everything I need. Everything wrong is filtered as I made my setup look for HEVC with specific bit rate ranges. Invalid file extensions are filtered out.

    For actual downloading I use RDT Client with the TorBox debrid service.

    Sometimes some indexing services time out but I’ll get the content later.

    In my experience, with this setup, I really don’t need Usenet or private torrent trackers.
