Linux client-to-site IPSEC VPN

Hello everyone, how are you?

We would like to know if it is possible for a Linux device to connect to IPSEC client-to-site VPN.

Thanks in advance

SNX and StrongSWAN
L2TP over IPsec is also supported: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_RemoteAccessVPN_AdminGuide/Content/Topics-VPNRG/L2TP-Clients.htm?tocpath=L2TP%20Clients%7C_____0#L2TP_Clients

Hello everything is fine? Thanks for the answer!

In the L2TP documentation link I only see the configuration for Microsoft devices, while SNX appears to only work for SSL VPN.

While SNX is an SSL VPN client, it can be used without enabling SSL VPN on the gateway.
It is also the only VPN client Check Point produces for Linux at present.

We do not provide specific configuration instructions for Linux or Mac, but it should be possible to make L2TP over IPsec work with these platforms as well.
