What happened?

I installed Barrier on my MacBook Pro and my W10 client.
The installation went fine, but when connecting my mac as Server et my Windows as client, i have this message :

I'm having the same issue now too even though it was just working yesterday.

Did this on my Mac M1(13.1) W10(2H2):

Try to set the server to IP to manual on client(Windows) and then it will ask for you to ask the SSL fingerprint click "Yes". Then you can set it to auto config again.

FYI: When I upgraded from 13.0.1 to 13.1 I had remove and re-add Barrier.app from Accessibility in Security & Privacy to get it to start on MacOS

Turn off your firewall on the macbook. Then try running the software and see if that works. If it does then that means your firewall is blocking it.
