Hello PhoneBoy,

Do any maintenance practices discuss having and managing an active Internet connection on a Gaia Gateway? Our StandAlone Gateway configuration does not currently have an Internet connection but it seems that if limited to checkpoint domains, an active Internet connection could help simplify maintenance and upgrades.

Thank again,

Having Internet access will definitely help for sure. 
We have an SK that details what access is needed or the various updates to work: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk83520

Is the Gaia 82 Internet configuration established only from the Gaia First Time Configuration Wizard (FTW)?
I have both a lab virtual "Open Server" Stand Alone Gateway and a real Quantum 6200 Stand Alone Gateway. 
Thanks again.
