I'm going to use stream protocol - TCP/IP. Here is the template source

We mean application protocol.

This code isn't very helpful. It just reads and writes the very same
data. Nothing in this code tells us, for example, how to identify a
complete message.
You could interpose an encryption protocol that also imposed no such
requirements. You would need to work out your own padding though.
Blowfish is a block encryption algorithm and cannot encrypt just a
single byte. So if you only read one byte, you'd need to pad it before
encryption and then you'd need some way to remove the padding on the
other end.
I would strongly urge you to just use SSL. It is designed for *exactly*
this purpose.
