VPN Client for Linux

Ruan_Kotze — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 10:17:20 GMT

Hi All,

I vaguely remember seeing a howto on CheckMates for configuring the OpenSwan VPN client to connect to a Checkpoint VPN. For the life of me I can't find that now. Was there such a guide posted, or is my memory failing me (very likely:-))

I am aware of SNX etc, but it's not an option in this specific scenario.

Thanks,
Ruan

StrongSWAN is also formally supported as a VPN client with R81 gateways.

Hi PhoneBoy! Do you know if strongSwan is also supported in Quantum Spark (Gaia Embedded)?
