This seems to be a problem with your underlying system.
Check over https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi and make sure avahi is working on both systems.
To get better logs run both the server and client from the terminal ex: barriers -f -d DEBUG2
You should be able to make a connection using the actual IP of the server from the client.

check #1812 as it may have been firewall shenanigans

also it looks like you don't have a system tray available for the app to attach itself to.
