It's the client that's causing the issue, and no I nmapped it and it seemed fine

Same issue for me

It fixed for me, the problem was related to dns. Check barrier logs on both machines.

I was using direct IP connection not hostnames, on the same subnet, however pinging by hostname works correctly both ways so I've ruled out DNS.

It appears that in this case the barrier client doesn't even send any data out as when I wiresharked my connection I didn't get any data out that would look like it would be from the barrier client. It's as if the service is either not beginning an initial start, or calling to nothing. Not sure other than that as the logs do not provide any further info other than the provided single line output saying that it is starting.
