Can't Connect To IRC

Issue #1 resolved
B B created an issue

Hi,

When using the tor gateway, I try to use Xchat to connect to an IRC server. In my settings I use these;

localhost

port: 9050

Socks 5

When I try to connect to any servers I get the same message;

Connecting to localhost (127.0.01) port 9050

Connection Failed. Error: connection refused.

It almost feels like it doesn't really connect, and just spits out this message, I don't know.

I'm lost and don't understand why I can't connect to IRC servers using Tor with the tor gateway?

    Tor gateway transparently routes traffic through the Tor network; there is no need to explicitly configure an application to use Tor.

    Many IRC servers do not allow connections from the Tor network.
