Just physical, or emulation too?

Hundreds of machines that look just like this, with the same "Make sure to update your proxy address, proxy username and port." message. Most have a few entries in different abuse IPDBs. Maybe it's a podunk VPN provider... probably cheaper to spin up cloud machines and eventually burn their IPs and move on, scorched earth.

```
PORT STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open http
1080/tcp open socks
1085/tcp open webobjects
3128/tcp open squid-http
```

I am seeing some oddly consistent, patterned traffic to my Searx instance. Traffic looks benign, but the pattern is incredibly robotic.

Looking closer, there are entire /24's FULL of machines sourcing the traffic, and they all look EXACTLY the same. Across all geos, mostly OVH/LeaseWeb but a mix all over.

Hitting any of them on port 80 returns "Not authenticated or invalid authentication credentials. Make sure to update your proxy address, proxy username and port."

Botnet? VPN provider?

welcome aboard!

@hierarchon This, and recreating the biggest movie battles in the parking lot afterward.

@sev Then my purpose has been served.

@sev

This should help randomize filter bubbles / geo-blocking, and potentially help prevent the originating engines from getting cranky about excessive requests, lol

searx.drastical.net is now load-balanced between multiple backends.
There will probably be some additional variance depending on which node your search came from. Refresh to spin the wheel again.

This is an experiment, please report any issues

Ever think that our best times are behind us?

Searx instance took a hit, for a bit. Should be back in action, now.

I can't see what you're talking about, but contextual probability suggests that I likely agree.
