Pxy

pxy is a short, flexible string that appears in various technical and non-technical contexts. It does not have a single, universal definition, and its meaning depends on domain, application, and even the user who coined it. In many computing contexts, pxy is commonly used as an abbreviation for proxy or proxy server. It may appear in configuration files, scripts, or logs as a variable, label, or placeholder for a network intermediary that forwards requests between a client and a destination.

Other uses: In web development, pxy can be used as a directory name or URL path component serving as a proxy endpoint, often in examples or lightweight tooling. In software projects, pxy may be used as a codename or identifier (uppercase PXY) for a module, feature, or build variant, but such usage is project-specific and not standardized.

Because pxy lacks a formal definition, readers should rely on surrounding context to determine its meaning. Look for accompanying terms like proxy, proxy server, PX, or hostnames, and check project documentation, code comments, or configuration schemas. If you encounter it in public documentation or web URLs, examine the domain to infer whether it refers to an actual proxy service, a route, or an example placeholder.
