pynx

pynx is a minimal Nginx-like async reverse proxy / edge router written in Python.

Features (MVP)

• Reverse proxy (HTTP)
• Virtual hosts (server blocks)
• Location routing (prefix + exact match)
• Load balancing (round-robin)
• Basic health checks (optional)
• Prometheus metrics (optional)

Quickstart

pip install pynx-proxy

Install (dev)

pip install -e .

Roadmap

• TLS termination + ACME
• HTTP/2 + HTTP/3
• Middleware pipeline (rate limit, auth, rewrite)
• TCP/UDP proxy
• Admin API + dashboard
