On one server, we used the method

to set up an rclone remote with a shared google drive.
sudo dpkg -i rclone-current-linux-amd64.deb
to install latest rclone, tunnel port 53682 with putty so that we can authorize with browser.
When we tried with another server, exactly the same way, error that localhost refused to connect. That is, the port 53682 tunneling and authentication for rclone was not happening.
Tried things like rebooting the local Windows machine, trying another browser and so on. But the only thing which worked was to do the "headless" option in rclone - first downloaded the latest rclone exe file, overwrote the version in C:\Windows which I had used earlier, and followed the online prompts.

Maybe this is due to some sort of caching? But persisting after reboots? No idea. More probable might be some typo in configuring the tunnel in putty, I guess. Or maybe the port was being tunneled elsewhere or something like that.
