Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1878

What happened?

Win10 desktop as server, Win10 laptop as client.
Port forwarded 24800 on router, (temporarily) turned off firewalls on both computers.

I've tried everything from requests on previous issue threads, but nothing has worked.
