Proxychains not working..

[Amerabian]

I'm having a little trouble getting it to work..

I have tor running..

checking 127.0.0.1:9050 with my browser returns:

"This address is restricted
This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection."

when I run ./proxychains ssh xx.xx.xx.xx

The resulting connection is actually made through my own machine.

An nmap to my machine only reports CUPS, no port 9050.

What am I doing wrong? How can I make sure that port 9050 is really running and have proxychains use tor through it?

UPDATE:

I got port 9050 up and tor is 100% running.

The other half of the problem remains..

When I use

sudo ./proxychains ssh xx.xx.xx.xx

The resulting connection is from my machine.
