Can't Connect To IRC
Issue #1
resolved
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?

repo owner 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.
