I'm also not able to get barrier (2.4.0) to working with two macs. I am able to get the client connected, but I'm not able to move the mouse over to the client. I have USB keyboard and mouse connected on the host.

Host: Mac mini 10.14.6
Client: Macbook pro 11.6.4

Edit: I'm not for sure what I did exactly, but it started working for me now. I toggled (disabling and enabling again) the Accessibility setting in System Preferences.
