I often have problems with barrier. Sometimes, it'll just refuse to stop when press "stop". It'll continue replicating the mouse to the other computer.
Other times, it'll refuse to start working again, requiring me to restart one or both computers, with know way to know which is messed up.
If I could guarantee one of the non-subscription ones would work properly, I'd probably pay. But since Barrier is apparently a fork of Synergy, I don't trust it. And most of the others have weird monetization, or I've heard bad things about their customer service... So I don't trust any of them.
In the end, I'm still using Barrier and just dealing with its problems.
- worldsayshi 6y agoI had quite a few problems with it but I think they mostly went away when I stopped closing the barrier window. It can't properly handle picking up the running session when you open up a new window so when you close the window the service becomes an orphan. Then it will try to start a new session on top of the other which can result in confusing behaviour.
- wccrawford 6y agoI never close the window, though. Just minimize it. Thanks for the info, though.
