I run a SearXNG instance and rate limiting has never been a issue until now. so i wanted to ask what the cheapest and most privacy respecting vpn/proxys are to use.

So like, if you passed on the rate limiting to your users, would you get less rate limited from the search providers that SearXNG uses?

    no searxng functions as a proxy between the user an the search engine so if the search engine is blocking/rate limiting the searxng servers ip the only option is to use a proxy/vpn but the issue i run into with the vpn is i cant just install it because it will make ssh and the domain configuration not work so the only options are install the vpn inside of the docker container or if searxng has a config setting for it wich i need to look into still
