What happened?

I followed all the procedures to remove any impediment e.g. disabled the ssl settings,allowed windows defender to not temper with it. But nothing.Its keeps saying ''Barrier is running.'' Both machines runs windows 10 ,the server is a lenovo desktop and the client is a lenovo thinkpad t480.
FYI this is my first time using barrier.
Does anyone know if older versions are working?

I just installed it and noticed the same issue, I first thought I would have had to open the port but it seemed weird since it runs in LAN, then looking at the logs I saw that no SSL configuration file was found and it couldn't connect to a secure socket.
The simple solution to make it work is to go (in all server and client machines) to "Barrier" (Tab on the top left) > "Change Settings" > Untick the "Enable SSL" option (and also untick the "Require client certificate" option if ticked), press "OK" and "Reload" and it should work instantly. This obviously makes it less secure but as long as you use it only in LAN it shouldn't be a problem, so be sure port 24800 is NOT OPEN. If you don't know what port forwarding is then it's already closed by default so don't worry.
