I am trying to do dynamic portforwarding using openssh through a remote computer following this command:

ssh -D 6789 rohan@<remote_ip> -p <remote_port>

This should set up a socks server on my comp as I assume.

I am able to use this for normal browsing but can't connect to IRC or remote ssh (through proxychains).

I get this error:

channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

A high verbosity level output of the error:

I googled for this too, but couldn't find any solutions.
