What happened?

On the morning, I finally fixed all my issue between my MBP(client) and raspberry pi(sever). I am here sharing some experience. If you still can't connect between your device, try tips bellow.

Use v.2.3.4 on your Mac, it is just like a charm.
Use sudo apt install barrier to install barrier on your pi
Change port from 24800 to 24900（or else you like as long as it is free）both your Mac and pi
Add your client name to your server(most important!) (make sure your client name simple, not too long, without strange character)
Try to start and Good luck!

Thanks to the author of this project, finally I make my raspberry pi become docking station to my MBP. This project is awesome!
