Describe the bug
Barrier runs for a while, then randomly stops working. Start/stop doesn't work. I usually need to restart both computers for it to start working again.

I've also tried to hard kill the process on both computers but that doesn't really work either.

This happens on both windows -> windows configuration and windows -> linux.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows/Linux
Barrier version
Latest release on git.

With my Mac <-> Mac system I find that the DHCP settings of my router change my IP address randomly, or randomly disconnects and reconnects the network. Is there a routine that compares the active network connection with the working configuration and adjust if necessary? Also, is there a way for Barrier to access multiple network connections (wired/wifi)?
