- <p>Searx depends on external search services. To avoid the abuse of these services
- it is advised to limit the number of requests processed by searx.</p>
- <p>An application firewall, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/asciimoo/filtron">filtron</a> solves exactly this problem. Filtron is just
- a middleware between your web server (nginx, apache, …) and searx, we describe
- such infratructures in chapter: <a class="reference internal" href="architecture.html#architecture"><span class="std std-ref">Architecture</span></a>.</p>

- <p>Filtron needs <a class="reference external" href="https://golang.org/">Go</a> installed. If <a class="reference external" href="https://golang.org/">Go</a> is preinstalled, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/asciimoo/filtron">filtron</a> is simply
- installed by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">go</span> <span class="pre">get</span></code> package management (see <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/asciimoo/filtron/blob/master/README.md">filtron README</a>). If you use
- filtron as middleware, a more isolated setup is recommended. To simplify such
- an installation and the maintenance of, use our script <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/filtron.sh.html#filtron-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/filtron.sh</span></a>.</p>
