I'm having the same issue on Windows 10 and Arch. I'll note that initially I thought this may have been due to SSL howerver after disabling SSL I'm still getting "Barrier is starting." on both client and server.

@goldmahn In the log posted you have timeouts:
[2020-01-21T09:53:59] WARNING: failed to connect to server: Timed out

That means it's not able to connect to the server. If you can ping the server the incoming connection might be getting blocked. You can rule out the barrier client if you can connect with openssl:

openssl s_client -connect hostname:24800

If openssl is able to connect, it is a problem with the barrier client. If you still get a timeout with openssl then there is either a network issue, DNS issue (if using a hostname), or the operating system is blocking that port (i.e. with a firewall).

Unfortunately there's not much information in this bug report on what could be wrong.

I'm therefore closing this.

To anyone comes to this bug later, this comment https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/545#issuecomment-623803569 is a good overview of how to start debugging the issue.
