1. i can see `PROXY_SERVER` in `self-host.md`, does it provide me option to use proxy URLs in the self hosted service 2. does that same proxy url is being passed down to searxng if we have a searxng instance running as well

i can see
```
PROXY_SERVER
```
```
PROXY_SERVER
```
in
```
self-host.md
```
```
self-host.md
```
, does it provide me option to use proxy URLs in the self hosted service
does that same proxy url is being passed down to searxng if we have a searxng instance running as well

Hi @Shinomori,

yes you can use, but limited to only [basic proxy](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/stealth-mode#proxy-types) only. However, stealth / auto proxy modes are not supported in self-host (because self-host does not have access to Fire-engine)
no it won't be passed down to searxng you'll be required to have a custom configuration.
