Thank you. Assuming the protocol spec is accurate:
  http://osflash.org/documentation/rtmp

The protocol port is NOT 80 or 443. But apparently 1935. And like other
streams would require a proprietary or hacked client software to
interpret.

If you want to proxy it you should look for a general-purpose proxy or SOCKS.

If you want to lock it set port 1935 into your firewall.
