VPN User Limit

Itzel_Gtz26 — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 19:30:55 GMT

Where can I see the limit of C2S vpn users that I can create on my 7000 appliance?

Additionally, concurrent connections are depending on my license, correct?

Must my device have some specific performance to support this configuration?

There isn't a hard limit to the number of VPN users you can create.
There is a license limit for C2S VPN connections.
Unless you've purchased Mobile Access Blade or Harmony Endpoint, you will be limited to 5 concurrent users.
You can use this tool to check: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Scripts/Easy-Mobile-User-License-Tool-Replaces-quot-dtps-lic-quot/m-p/78848#M351

The exception to this is if you use SecuRemote, which has numerous limitations, but useful in some contexts: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-VPN/Quick-Primer-on-How-to-Configure-your-Gateway-for-SecuRemote/m-p/79081#M2717

As @PhoneBoy said, there is no hard limit as far as number of vpn users you create, BUT, there is limit if its C2S users, which is limited to 5 on basic license, so you need correct one depending how many "seats" you need (50, 100, 500..etc)

As far as your last question, you need to enable remote access and then configure proper groups for the access/rules

Example below in my lab.

Thanks to both of you for the info.

Additionally, do you know what capacity my device should have in an extreme case of 1000 connections at the same time? I already have the required license.

Thats nothing...I know customers with way more users on same appliance and no issue.

So how many tunnels must be established at the same time to affect performance?
