TFC runs entirely using the UDP Protocol. This means it is connectionless and a conventional Proxy will not be suitable for it. Too all extents the only way you are going to get this working without a fight would be to use a VPN Service.

Basically you connect to a VPN through a virtual network adapter. This means ALL of your traffic is tunnelled to the VPN Server before being sent out. This encapsulates all data. The chances of you getting one for free is pretty low, but there are some moderately cheap deals out there which can do it for you.

Depending on the service, $5 or so a month.
