MAB sslvpn question from user

[Daniel_Kavan]

Hi Mates,

Is there something new in the MAB clients asking users for access to their network?

from userG:

When logging-in to the portal this morning I was greeted with an alert box letting me know that "portal.pheonix.rising.com wants to access your network and any device on it." I blocked the request, because I always block those kinds of requests. I was then informed that I needed to update the CheckPoint Mobile client so I downloaded and ran the installer as usual. It seems that the update does not get installed and I can no longer open the VPN connection.
Do I need to allow portal.pheonix.rising.com to access the network?

I tried ssl40, but I opted not to block access to the local network this time. The software updated automatically and I was able to connect just fine. So, I went back to ssl30 and changed the permissions to allow local network access, reloaded the page, and everything works now.

Hey Dan,

Is this for every user?

[Daniel_Kavan]

Just one experienced user has reported it.  He has rebooted, updated to a different version, updated Java, removed all CP services, rebooted again, tried a different version and still got the message, he tried on R81.20 gw then a R82 gw still gets the same message.

What OS?

[Daniel_Kavan]

He had this issue with windows 10.  He's now moved onto windows 11.  I'll see if he can replicate it will w11.

If its just single user issue, then most likely not on the fw side.

- Do the settings for the VPN allow back connections?

- What software is he seeing the prompt / error in and what Endpoint security solution is the PC running?
