Checkpoint Remote Access VPN - support for Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100)

[mbesen]

Hello,

I tried to install Remote Access VPN, latest available version (E88.40) on laptop running Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2, build 26100.

Build 26100 is an upcoming 24H2 release that is already available for couple of months in Insider programme, and is released for general availability for ARM computers, with imminent release to Pro and Enterprise SKUs.

So, after installing 24H2 on company laptop and setting up Remote Access VPN, said VPN connects to VPN gateway server for couple of seconds and then it disconnects. Laptop's network adapter stops working too unless I reset it via Settings app.

I know there is no official support for 24H2 yet from Checkpoint, but usually there was installation block that prevented installing Remote Access VPN on unsupported build versions. This time this didn't happen so I wanted to know is CheckPoint aware of this issue, and if needed, I can provide additional logs to help narrow down the root cause test fix, if possible.

Thank you, and kind regards,

Mario

EDIT: I couldn't find Remote Access VPN subforum, didn't notice it's under Quantum now, so if you could be kind enough to move it there I'd appreciate it!

If you have a lab environment you can see it for real yourself. I have been able to reproduce the issue every time by just connecting with SNX network mode on a machine running Windows 11 24H2 every time, virtual and physical. Tested lots of different java versions, all showing the the same issue. Tested on several JHFs on R81.10 and several JHFs on R81.20. A few seconds after you click connect on the portal, all network connections are lost.

I have not had the time to test R82 yet.

Im trying to see if I can update my win 11 test machine behind the R81.20 jumbo 90 cluster to 24h2, as currently its on 23h2 and snx works fine. Let me see if there is manual install option, as checking for windows update does not present 24h2.
