E88.70 and E89 endpoint release for Windows?

[the_rock]

Hey guys,

Anyone has an idea about possible release dates for endpoint E88.70 and E89? Customer asked me about it recently. I heard back in November of 2024 it would be sometime in jan 2025, but nothing yet.

Thanks as always!

Also any ETA on interim E88.62 release to handle the Win11 24H2 issue?

[the_rock]

I heard all of those issues will be fully fixed in E89 version.

Have to say Chris, very impressed with E88.62. Im sure E88.70 and E89 will be even better.

Great work.

Hello,

First, thank you very much for the good news.

However, I am still facing the same issue after installing the E88.62.

Is it just a matter to install this file right? https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/136056

or we need to do something else?

I am working on a ASUS TUF A15
Windows 11 Home
Version 24H2
OS build 26100.3194
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.48.0

It is very annoying because I am working remotely, but not....because of that....

That is all you need if its barebone VPN client, correct.

There is a known incompatibility between some ASUS-specific services and our VPN client: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-VPN/Checkpoint-Endpoint-Security-VPN-Client-not-wo...

@PhoneBoy has provided a reference to a known issue affecting some Asus devices.

Additionally for reference I don't believe we officially support Windows "Home" edition per:

The last I date I heard with E88.62 was in the next two weeks.

As part of the E88.70 release, we are addressing a few product quality issues.
Getting this right has taken a bit longer than anticipated and still don't have a firm ETA.

Thanks as always!

how about IPv6 support?
some customer always ask about IPv6, mostly for remote access use cases ...

[Chris_Atkinson]

As related to the above sk166415 documents the IKEV2 element.

[PhoneBoy]

We released an EA version of the VPN client last year that had some limited support for IPv6 (mainly using NAT64).

It's definitely in the roadmap.

I had few people ask me about it, totally valid point.
