Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1718

What happened?

I was going to use it as a bridge for my raspberry pi (client) to my pc (server), but it shows errors and I have no idea what to do or what not do, I just can't figure out what the hell is going on, even after 2-3 hours, I was hoping to get some help directly from people who go the same issue as mine, everything is a clean install, freshly installed on both machines
