Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN on Mac blocks all Connections

dominik_feining — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:23:09 GMT

Hello,

I have a couple issues with the Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN software on my Mac.

I need to use Netscaler Gateway software. This conflicts with the Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN software. Even when Netscaler is able to connect, I cannot get any packages though as long as Endpoint is installed. Only uninstalling the Endpoint helps.

Endpoint is blocking any incoming connection. Means as long as Endpoint is installed I cannot access my Mac from network. I used to have e.g. a webserver running and connect from various devices on the network to this webserver on my Mac. This ist totally not possible as long as the Endpoint VPN client is running.

Can somebody help on this and point in the right direction if and what needs to change.

Thx

Dominik

Did you look into disconnected policy? EPS client loads some default policies even before trying to connect to VPN GW. It might be that your default policy does not allow any connections.

Hi Valeri,

where can I find the "disconnected policy"? Who can adjust this policy?

EPS client has FW component, which receives desktop policies from the site. VPN site security admin is in charge
