Changed FurSuite link from FurSuite.com to FurSuite wiki page.
A '''proxy ''' is a server or application that sits between the ''[[Furcadia]]'' client and server. Proxies in ''Furcadia'' generally function by intercepting and modifying network traffic, with the exception of [[Furnarchy]] which, while still referred to as a proxy, instead functions by directly accessing and modifying the working memory of the game client.
Proxies are used by players to introduce features not present in the default game client, primarily adding social features such as away messages, whisper windows, and friend list/online detection. The introduction of [[Pounce]], which offers these features bundled into the main game client, has replaced most third-party proxies.
Strictly speaking, some [[bot]] programs, such as [[FurBot]], may also function as proxies.
==Proxy rules==
