Hey bro,

What @G_W_Albrecht sent is what you need to follow. I just tested it on Ubunto 22.04 version and worked fine.

In terms of a Check Point-branded VPN client for Linux that can talk directly to a Quantum (Spark) Security Gateway, not today, though it is in the roadmap.
We do have a Linux-native client for our Harmony SASE offering: https://support.perimeter81.com/docs/linux-agent-release-notes
