Checkpoint Operation is not allowed - Local requests only

[eranlif]

HI, All!

I'm getting the error above - "Checkpoint Operation is not allowed - Local requests only" when trying to execute Test Feed on R81.20.

Does anyone know what this means?

BTW, I think both the management and the firewall can reach the target IP on the specified port (I succeeded in telnet from both).

Thanks

Can you send a screenshot?

I know it may sound trivial, but make sure you are not possibly logged in as read-only?

The session I'm in is shown as read-write. I saw a similar message in google, referring to read-only mode, but this is not the case here, imho

Can you make sure whatever user you are logging in with has super user profile assigned to it, as per below?

That's what it looks like  - and thanks for your help!... (I also checked the modal you referenced)

There's only one TAC case that mentions this error and it has something to do with the username used (seems to be too short or a reserved word, not sure which from the notes).
I would have to see an unredacted screenshot of what you entered into the Network Feed to see if this applies or not.
Even so, I suggest a TAC case: https://help.checkpoint.com

I edited the feed data, but I still see the same message.
And again - Thanks for your help. I guess this will eventually go to TAC...

Sounds like the best idea.

Can you try this feed, see what you get?

Thanks!
I still got the same error, but after that modal was closed, I could test the feed and get a positive result!

So, I think this error should be ignored.

Again, many thanks!

(Should I mark this post as the solution?... 😊 )

I just did 🙂
