This post is from 2021-2022, so better check the master page: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk67820

You will find Mobile Access Web Portal, SNX and strongSwan for Linux. Harmony Endpoint for Linux has no VPN only EPS blades...

Good point, I see that sk was updated less than 2 months ago.

Thank you very much @G_W_Albrecht

Hey bro,

What @G_W_Albrecht sent is what you need to follow. I just tested it on Ubunto 22.04 version and worked fine.

In terms of a Check Point-branded VPN client for Linux that can talk directly to a Quantum (Spark) Security Gateway, not today, though it is in the roadmap.
We do have a Linux-native client for our Harmony SASE offering: https://support.perimeter81.com/docs/linux-agent-release-notes
