Opnxng hosts a number of public services focused on privacy by using opensource front ends for popular websites, including:
- Medium
- Threads
- Github
- IMDB
- Stackoverflow
- Tumblr
- Quora
- Fandom
It also hosts tools like:
- Stirling PDF
- IT Tools
- Etherpad
- Privatebin
- Send
and a few lemmy frontends like mlmym, Photon, and Voyager.
Edit: added a detail that they are not hosting the websites I listed, but rather open source and privacy respecting front ends for these websites.
With no published owner information, YS consider it a honeypot.
The age old problem always comes back... I don't know the solution but anything that looks like it is a fed/honeypot
The simple answer is self-host (or dont host it online at all) if you really care about keeping your data safe. Otherwise, use a provider with a published name and address, and if they leak your data, use the legal system to resolve it.
Found the owner: https://github.com/searxng/searx-instances/issues/292
Privacy policy looks good: https://about.opnxng.com/privacy/
That being said, could still 100% be a honeypot. Trust nothing.
Privacy policies are only as good as your ability to legally enforce them. And without a name or address, you'll struggle to do that against a github account. Even a lawyers name would be a start.
Cloudflare may know their identity, but thats still a gamble.
oh yes. please feed my anxiety.
Just don't use it for sensitive data.
Too late.
You live a dangerous lifestyle, Dänemark-bro.
Opnxng doesn't host Searxng? Seems like a missed opportunity. Edit: never mind, they do.
Note: for those who don't know,
