Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1104

Describe the bug
When using a windows server and a macOS client, there is an infinite timeout loop. I think barrier is trying to use my ethernet for the server ip instead of the wifi's ip. I don't have a cable plugged into the ethernet, but barrier is still trying to use it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows (server)
OS: MacOS (client)
Barrier version: 2.3.3

Additional context
When running ipconfig my ethernet's ip is 192.168.56.1 while my wireless is 192.168.0.104.
Barrier is using the ethernet's for some reason.

And on both machines barrier is allowed through the firewall.

This happened to me when upgraded the mac OS.

Uninstallinng the barrier and reinstalling it fixed the issue.

Hope this helps. :)
