SocketException:Can't connect to SOCKS proxy:Connection refused: connect

Have you ever got that response, when trying to login to your mojang account on the minecraft launcher?

If so... please help me.

Gonna tell you more if I get some response.

No I am not using mcleaks. But I do use a socks proxy.

here is my question from another forum (its a bit different but that is more or less the same problem):

So I have a similar problem to this thread:
Using SOCKS with Minecraft

Addison Crumps "another method" essentially helped me coming to the point where I am now.

I did the following:

I replaced my current JVM with this: -DsocksProxyHost=127.0.0.1
-DsocksProxyPort=3128 -DproxySet=true
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|127.0.0.1"

start MC with that profile and then put: ssh (ssh file that
automatically connects via a tunnel on port 80 with the username pi and
logs me in on my Linux RaspberryPi) -L
25565:minecraftserverexample.net:25565

Now I add the server localhost:25565

And get the server... but when I try to join I get the response:
Failed to login: Authentication servers are currently under
maintenance... or sth like that.

Please help I don´t know whats the problem.

No, thats why I want to use the proxy
