As far as I know, Telefinder does not support operation using a proxy server. (there is no place to enter the proxy's address or ports!!!!)
I think that port 1474 needs to be open for both TCIP and UDP, but I am not sure of this. I would suggest trying an alternate, lower-numbered port such as that used for Telnet (23) and see if that works. Too bad we can't get source and fix this crap.
