Is there an equivalent of the windows capsule vpn client on ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Hello everyone,

I have desktop with a dual boot windows/ubuntu. Because I use windows only for remote work, I want to find a way to connect to checkpoint vpn on ubuntu 20.04 LTS in order to delete my Windows partition.

Is there an easy way to do that ?

Should my network administrator do custom configuration on his side ?

For Linux there are two options:

SNX (not supported on that version of Ubuntu formally)
StrongSWAN (requires an R81 gateway and specific configuration)

In any case, access from Linux over VPN requires specific configuration on the remote end.
