Describe the bug
Server is Debian Buster, client is Windows 10. When I try to switch, nothing happens. The log says that the client is ignored.

Testing some more, I found that the issue is with the client. I'm getting a warning that I failed to connect to the server, and a timeout. I'm trying to figure out why. Can anyone help?

Turns out I had to create a Firewall rule server side. I'm dumb.
