Check Point Remote Access VPN in Linux environment

[Ihenock1011]

Hi All,

We are currently migrating our VPN solution to Check Point. So far our Mac and Windows clients are successfully connecting using their clients. But we also have other employees and consultants that use different Linux flavors.

I would like to know if there is any client for (Ubuntu, redhat, etc) in order to connect to Check Point RA VPN. If there is no a specific client, how can one connect to  the VPN using Linux OS.

Thanks

There are some possible solutions: Mobile Access Web Portal, SSL Network Extender for Mobile Access Blade and strongSwan Client.

Link one is about strongSwan i mentioned already, but contains no details at all (see https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_RemoteAccessVPN_AdminGuide/C... for these) and link two is for a Linux Endpoint client only that does not contain a VPN blade...

Yep, thats true, just realized now, my bad. Not sure if below would work, but looks similar to what you provided and it seems to be the only option for VPN so far.

That looks like a good addition to Remote Access Admin Guide !
