What happened?

I am running Barrier in server mode from my Windows Desktop and my M1 MacBook Pro is the client. After reconnecting to Barrier when my Mac is asleep, the mouse pointer freezes every few seconds. Typing also freezes. After 30 seconds to a minute, the issue seems to go away and I can move the mouse and type as if I were using the physical keyboard.

I am speculating that this could have to do with the Rosetta 2 emulation layer. The CPU usage also seems high on the client at around 10%. I don't have an ethernet adapter to test with but I doubt my WiFi is the issue.

If I disconnect manually and then reconnect, the issue does not occur.

Version

v2.4.0

I experience the same behavior using Barrier 2.4.0, Intel mac as a server and M1 mac as a client, both running on Monterey 12.6

I helped someone else setup their M1 Mac as the server and Windows desktop as the client and the issue didn't occur, so it may be limited to M1 Macs as the client.

I'm using M1 too as a client, and windows as a server, maybe just uncheck 'Check clients every' option, and don't use SSL,

I highly doubt it is due to the SSL settings. Check clients is already disabled.
