Same here with two macOS 12.3 clients and a Manjaro Linux 5.15.28 server.

The Barrier log contains several:

ERROR: ssl certificate dosn't exist: /Users/.../Barrier.pem
INFO: stopping barrier desktop process
ERROR: process exited with error code: 11

No idea if this is related.

It turns out missing ssl certificates on both the client and the server was the problem.
I had to manually create the following certificates for Linux and macOS:

Linux: ~/.local/share/barrier/SSL/Barrier.pem
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/barrier/SSL/Barrier.pem

I used the same command to create the certificates in both environments:

openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -days 999 -nodes -out Barrier.pem -keyout Barrier.pem

Everything working nicely now. Thank you all for this excellent tool!

Update: Everything worked fine with the log level set to Debug2, but later I tried but couldn't and another machine. The solution was to set the logging level to Debug2. Then the new node joined and I reduced the log level back to Warning. Weird, but it works.

How would this work with a Windows Server and have a MacBook Pro as a client? It goes like this Windows -> MacOS -> (Universal control) MacOS or iPad. Tried installing OpenSSL on the Windows PC, and on both MacOS as well but no results.

Sorry, but I didn't try this on Windows.

Were you able to figure this out? Interested in seeing if Barrier can work with Universal Control if the server is Windows and Client is Mac.

Unfortunate. I hope to find the answer soon!
