 COMMAND KEYS

 COMMANDS

Furcadia supports various gateway mechanisms, including SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. If you are using Furcadia through a Local Area Network (LAN), you may need to define your proxy/gateway/firewall addresses for Furcadia software. Check out the "Firewall and proxy" section of "Furcadia Configuration and Troubleshooting" utility located to your Furcadia directory (also accessible through "Start" menu). Please note that Furcadia supports only username/password and "none" authentication methods with SOCKS5.

You can use "Configuration and Troubleshooting" utility to customize Furcadia settings for you. (You can also configure quite a bit of how Furcadia works by opening "settings.ini" file from Furcadia directory with Notepad or any other text editor. This, however, is no longer recommended.)
