VPN between Checkpoint on premises and Checkpoint in AWS

boris — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 18:52:45 GMT

Hi!

A client has a Checkpoint gateway on premises and wants to create a new VPC with another checkpoint gateway on the AWS cloud. What Gateway configuration should i deploy on the VPC? Since we have a "normal" security gateway ( see sk131434 ) or a security transit gateway... i'm a little confused on the difference between those two options.

Thanks!

I forgot to say that the main goal is to set up a VPN tunnel between the two gateways!

Thanks!

If you're doing everything manually, a regular gateway is fine.
The Transit Gateway is meant to inspect traffic between VPCs (or between VPCs and the Internet) without having to deploy gateways in each VPC.

Thanks! we're deploying the tunnel this week to see if it works.
