Is it possible to run checkpoint vpn agent without an application installation in the linux OS?

[MZayn]

Hi all,

In linux ubuntu 22.10, I cannot install applications. I am working on the terminal server.
Is there a way I can safely run the checkpoint vpn agent as code?

Thank you for your nice
comments.

Not so sure about that, maybe TAC can confirm for you 100%.

I suspect the answer to this is no based on: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk114267
And, also: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Scripts/CShell-SNX-chrooted-wrapper-automated-setup-for-Linux-ba...

If you have control over the firewalls, you can always set them up to allow L2TP-over-IPSec. Every OS I've dealt with in at least 15 years comes with a client capable of that. Not sure if non-root users can configure VPNs on Linux, but it would at least eliminate the requirement to install additional software.
