Barrier 2.4 setup

Must generate certificates for both server and client.

Generating the certificate

Generating the fingerprint

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Barrier#Set_up_encryption_on_server

The fingerprint will be placed at Local.txt. It needs to have the format as specified in the wiki "v2:sha256:#{fingerprint}"

When setting up the client, the client's fingerprint needs to be copied over to the server "TrustedClients.txt". When setting up the server, the server's fingerprint needs to be copied over to the client "TrustedServers.txt".

Windows

X:/Users/#{USER}/AppData/Local/Barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedClients.txt X:/Users/#{USER}/AppData/Local/Barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedServers.txt X:/Users/#{USER}/AppData/Local/Barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt

Linux

~/.local/share/barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedClients.txt ~/.local/share/barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedServers.txt ~/.local/share/barrier/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt

Screen name must be the same as the client's hostname

Firewall should allow connections in Windows
