    I mean, you probably don’t. But any particular instance CAN be collecting IPs and selling them. Or their security could be compromised.

    This is without me knowing a ton about this specific piece of software.

    Aside from that, I don’t toggle my VPN on and off on a per-site basis.

      Ok, now I understand what OP meant.

      However, I use my own SearxNG instance, so I guess I never thought about it that way.
