Hi Everyone,

I posted this issue originally in discussion but figured I would post it here to put some more eyes on it and to see if there were additional solutions: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/discussions/1938

I've been using barrier between the above mentioned OS for about a month now and it works flawlessly. I've been using it with SSL and have had no issues with it. However, I noticed that when I first connect to my VPN, and then try running barrier, it's unable to connect. Here are the logs produced:

Any thoughts about what might be going on? I'd prefer to not disable SSL, if possible. Thanks in advance for your help!!
