Message "Connectivity with the vpn service is lost"

[lanmaster]

Hi. I cannot create TAC. Try to ask here.

I try to install any versions of CheckPointVPN ( from 82.40 to 88.60) on my Asus ROG Strix laptop (Ryzen 9 7945HX / 64Gb memory / Windows 10/22H2 Pro x64). But have no luck. I all cases i get many errors in Windows System Logs with error ID 7031. And if i try to open UI from tray icon i get error window "connectivity with the vpn service is lost". After about 5 minutes system is crashing and going to reboot. And that occurs again and again until i uninstall application.

Also i view logs collected by tray UI app, and found this issue:

Do anyone know how to fix it?

P.S. I sent issue to my company tech support, but there is no answer yet.

I don't see how this cannot be resolved without a TAC case. Why cannot you open one?

Also, considering the same issue with different client versions, I would suspect something with the laptop and not the clients.

There is an sk180845 describing similar symptoms, but it should not happen with any version above E86.xx

[lanmaster]

I don't know how to create TAC case.

Please ask your security admins to handle the ticket.

Maybe there is some alternatives available, like minimal application started in command line? I need to connect to our enterprise gateway and get ability to access to internal resources by IP/hostnames.

Такая же проблема с Asus fa706ic 

Windows 11 23h2 

[lanmaster · Accepted solution]

I install GHelper and from it disable Asus services. I think these services interfere Check Point service. On Windows 10 it work.

Добрый день!
Какие именно службы Вы отключали? 

[lanmaster]

There is only one button "Stop services". Don't know its names. Count 8.

Подскажите, у вас получилось избавиться от этой проблемы с помощью G-helper?

Hi,Did you solve the problem?When i  click VPN Options will popup error message "Connectivity with the VPN service is lost".
and my PC type is Asus ROG Strix 7/ Windows 11 Version 23H2

[lanmaster]

Yes, it solved for me. 

Install G-Helper, go to "Extra" panel, then click "Stop" on right bottom side. In left bottom you will see "Asus services running: 0". After this you must restart CheckPoint service and it must start.
