Barrier: Barrier Stuck At "Barrier Is Starting"

I had similar issue, but I did not look at the log to see what it said.

How I resolved it, is on the server machine select configure server and delete all machines that are in "Screens and links". Once I did that and reloaded barrier on both machines it was working. Hope this helps.

I just recently have the same issue.
I make it work just by adding new computer on the Configure Server, and name that computer with the same name appeared in client machine (for example in your case the name should be set to Ryan-Ubuntu). Then reload and it works perfectly.
Hope this help.

Amazing ! (Win10 as server, Ubuntu16 as client)

I got the same problem. and after I drag the icon to add a new computer, it wouldn't work, too.
But, when I closed the SSL, it works.

[SOLVED ]same here, added a screen on server config with the name of the client computer, reloaded, but client is stuck on "Barrier is starting".
Server is connected to network via RJ45 cable, but Client via WIFI. Both to same router

SOLVED DISABLING FIREWALL

Disabling SSL fixed it for me as well.

[SOLVED] [ EXTRA SOLUTION]
I had the same setup and disabling windows firewall worked but to keep windows firewall running i added an Inbound rule to the 24800 port (the one that barrier is using) in Windows defender firewall with advanced security after that barrier started to work again with firewall enabled again.

Hello! Tried everything: Disabling SSL, Disabling Firewall and nothing... What can I do?

I cant seem to make it work from Windows 10 (server) to arch (client). I Tried doing what @minhmoc says, I tried disabling firewall completely and ssl but still no results. I keep getting 'Barrier is starting' on arch!
I know there's got something to do with Windows cause I tried it from two arch machines and it worked flawlessly!

Tried everything too and still have this problem with macOS (Server) and Windows 10 (Client)

In my opinion that should be on FAQ.

yes this one and one solution by @minhmoc worked for me.

In my case, because I've tried multiple times starting and closing Barrier on the Windows machine as the server, the application doesn't actually exist. So make sure there is not an existing barrier process running in task manager. Then start barrier again which should be able to run.
