Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/2017

What happened?

The programs works as it should if I set the server my mac as the server, but it stays stuck at "Barrier is starting" when trying to run it as a client. I have disabled SSL fingerprinting and the client requiring a certificate on both operating systems (MacOS and Win11). The Win11 version of the app works fine as client and server. The issue is only with MacOS.

Version

v2.0.0-RC1

Same issue. Client is Sonoma (14.3.1) and server is Windows 10 (21H2, 19044.2130). SSL is disabled on both server and client.
Also tried to run both server and client with --enable-crypto

I've always have my setting to have SSL disabled on both the client (MacOS) and server-side (WIndows 11). My Macbook Pro still gets stuck at "Barrier is starting" when trying to connect as a client, only as a server can it run/connect.
