In an age where every click, search, and scroll is monitored and monetized, protecting your privacy online has never been more important. That’s why we at Mask.ad created SPANA.IN — a free, privacy-first search engine that helps you search the web securely without compromising your data.
Whether you’re a VPN user, privacy enthusiast, or just someone tired of being tracked online, SPANA.IN is your go-to tool for anonymous, encrypted, and safe search.
🔍 What is SPANA.IN?
SPANA.IN is a proxy-powered search engine that shields your online identity by acting as a secure middleman between you and traditional search engines. Think of it like combining a VPN-style privacy layer with a streamlined search experience.
When you search through SPANA.IN, your query is never sent directly to search providers. Instead, it’s routed through our privacy-hardened servers, ensuring no logs, no trackers, and no fingerprinting.
🛡️ Built for Security, Designed for Speed
At the core of SPANA.IN is a lightweight, high-performance architecture designed with privacy and speed in mind:
- Custom Debian kernel with security-first patches
- Runs entirely in RAM – no disk writes = no data persistence
- All search queries are hashed with a secret key
- Uses Redis in-memory caching for lightning-fast results
- Entire search logic is written in Python, optimized for performance
And here’s the best part: When the server restarts, the hashed search cache is wiped and a new key is generated. That means even we can’t trace your past queries. Your search history? It simply doesn’t exist.
🇸🇪 What Does “SPANA.IN” Mean?
“Spana” is a Swedish word meaning “to scout” or “spy” — but in everyday language, it’s more like saying “check it out.” That’s exactly what you do here. You search the web while staying invisible to prying eyes.
🔧 Use SPANA.IN as Your Default Search Engine
You can make SPANA.IN your default search engine in seconds:
- Go to spana.in
- Right-click the URL bar → Add SPANA.IN
- Or add it manually:
- Name: Spana
- URL:
https://spana.in
Enjoy VPN-level privacy for every search you make, straight from your browser.
🧠 Smart Caching for Faster, Safer Searches
SPANA uses RAM-based caching via Redis to speed up results without compromising your privacy. If someone recently searched for the same term, your results come back instantly — without ever revealing your IP or search identity.
- Cached for up to 30 days
- No permanent storage
- Zero tracking
🧳 Do I Still Need a VPN?
SPANA.IN doesn’t replace your VPN — it complements it. Where a VPN encrypts your entire internet connection, SPANA focuses on protecting your search behavior. Together, they form a powerful combo:
- VPN: Hides your IP and location
- SPANA: Keeps your searches private
- Combined: A safer, cleaner digital experience
If you’re not using a VPN, SPANA.IN still gives you a secure search engine alternative that doesn’t log your activity or share data with third parties.
👀 We Don’t See What You’re Searching
Let’s make this 100% clear:
✅ No user logs
✅ No cookies
✅ No IP storage
✅ No tracking pixels
✅ No selling data
Everything you search is hashed, cached temporarily, and gone with the next server reboot. Even we don’t know what you searched for — and we like it that way.
🚀 Why We Built It (And Why It’s Free)
SPANA.IN was built by Mask.ad, a privacy-focused community building tools for safer web experiences. We believe that search should be fast, clean, and private — without ads or surveillance.
That’s why SPANA.IN is completely free and always will be.
