Whoogle (lemmy.world)

I've been using Whoogle for probably a couple years now, and it's been great.

I do not have a cert on my PC that's running it (in my house) so my connection to it is not https. My question though, is once my query reaches from my device to the whole server (http) does Whoogle then use HTTPS when exiting to complete the query?

I don't use Whoogle myself, but I've checked the code and seems like Whoogle indeed uses HTTPS when sending your query to Google.

(And as long as you are on your own private network at home you should be fine using HTTP)

Thanks so much for looking into it! That's a relief
