Capsule VPN app is a wrapper of sorts for the Windows client.

There are options to configured L2TP using the Windows client but this is likely less desirable.

For Linux clients, we support the use of StrongSWAN (from R81 and above).
For Windows/Mac/iOS/Android, you need to use the appropriate Check Point client.
As noted, L2TP over IPsec is also an option, which does not require a specific client.
