What happened?

Setup: macOS server, Ubuntu client.

The two machines see each other, but the minute I connect the client, I get an error due to a missing certificate on the server:

I tried to generate my own PEM file, but alas, that did not work either.

Version

v2.4.0

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

Snaps and github

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Linux, macOS

What OS versions are you using?

Any other information

For what it's worth, I am able to run everything without SSL, but I'd prefer to have it. Not sure where I went wrong when generating my own certificate.
