Check Point Mobile disable sound

[mmitic]

Hello to everyone,

How can I disable sound upon connect and disconnect in VPN client?

Many users have this request and I can't find a solution 😞

Thanks in advance.

Regards

M.

While I don't think you can disable the sounds, you can certainly replace the sounds with something else--like a wav file that plays nothing, if you prefer.
See: C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Endpoint Connect\res

Thanks, I created empty files and insterted them instead of originals and it works 🙂

what about Mac? perhaps do you know the path there as well? can't figure it out

[PhoneBoy]

Did you open up the application bundle?
If there is a file to replace, it’d probably be in there.

You mean to go under Applications/Checkpoint app and right click> "show package contents"?

I tried so, opened every folder or sub package, didn't find anything.. 
do you know where to look?
or perhaps what to look for? because I tried also to search for *.wav files but no results

For Mac, you need to change the Endpoint Security VPN app.
This is installed under /Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Security/Endpoint Connect
I confirm I can see the following files (which I assume can be replaced):

• ./Endpoint Security VPN.app/Contents/Resources/TracFailed.wav
• ./Endpoint Security VPN.app/Contents/Resources/TracConnected.wav

Ohh bummer this was so close..
I managed to track the entire path but the files at the end do not exists, how strange

 
using version: 
Version VPN E86.50 Build 986200708

I assume you installed “Endpoint Security VPN” instead of the full Endpoint client (which @G_W_Albrecht and I are both using). 
Which means it may be somewhere else.
Something like the following might help you find the precise location:

find “/Library/Application Support/Checkpoint” -name TracConnected.wav -print

I can find both .wav files here:

This screenshot made me wonder the entire thing from scrach..

Not sure if I did it correctly but originally my app was downloaded from here
https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/remote-access-vpn/

which do not contains the files in the mentioned above paths.

I now redownloaded the app from the app store
https://apps.apple.com/il/app/check-point-capsule-connect/id506669652

this looks like a newer and better app which

a. contains the files 

b. do not make sounds by default (?) (need to further test this but seems quiet so far)

This is a VPN client intended for Mobile Phones and iPads, not for the Mac.
Having said that, M1-based Macs can run iPad apps, which is why this is working for you.

This is Endpoint Security VPN OS X flavor Mobile...
