Our SearxNG instance is currently not giving any search results due to our IP's being blocked by several search engines (google, brave, duckduckgo etc). This is most probably due to abusing bots using our instance to send a lot of search requests to bump their websites search position. 

We are trying to get things back online, and looking for more permanent solution to prevent abuse.
