      Currently self-hosting Searx-ng. Goes out through a VPN. It’s a meta search, so I my highest rankings are results that come back from multiple vendors. Pretty much eliminates sponsored results.

      I haven’t gotten around to putting it into my reverse proxy, so when I am out I just use duck duck go. Their results aren’t as good, but they work.
