Configure site to site vpn between aws and checkpoint

gadmin — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:02:59 GMT

Please does anyone have a guide or resource on how to setup a site to site vpn connection between aws and checkpoint?

Been searching all over the interweb and couldn't find any resource on that.

AWS has a good library of resources, did you look at it?

Once you work it through, you may want to look at sk108958 as well.

Thanks for the reply, I have gone through the resources and I am still a bit confused. So here is my issue,

1. I have been given the checkpoint cloud guard location ip address and vpn tunnel endpoint ips, but i am still unsure about the process i need to follow to connect my aws site to site to the checkpoint cloud guard device.

sk108958 describes one method.

If you're using R81.20, there is a simpler method here: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_SitetoSiteVPN_AdminGuide/Content/Topics-VPNSG/VPN-Tunnel-with-Cloud.htm?tocpath=_____19

Hello,

Did you managed to configure that?

From what I understood is that Route Based VPN are the solution for AWS, not Domain Based VPN.

Can someone from CheckPoint confirm that?

Thanks.

After almost 3 years, I'm continuing this conversation.

From what I understood is that Route Based VPN are the solution for AWS, not Domain Based VPN.

Is this correct?

Thanks!

Check following video please. It shows how to configure VPN seamlessly.

If you don't have an access to VPC you want to make S2S vpn against I would recommend to follow sk108958
And yes, it's route based VPN.
