Searx depens on external search services. To avoid the abuse of these services
it is advised to limit the number of requests processed by searx.

+An application firewall, filtron_ solves exactly this problem. Filtron is just

+Filtron needs Go_ installed. If Go_ is preinstalled, filtron_ is simply
+installed by ``go get`` package management (see `filtron README`_). If you use
+filtron as middleware, a more isolated setup is recommended. To simplify such
