Hi,
I have upgraded my computer to ubuntu 20.04 and I have realized that Check Point client for linux is not supported in this release:
Since Ubuntu 20.04 is a long-term support (LTS) release, this issue blocks seriously the usage of Check Point by linux users.
So, could you give me any suggestion to get around this problem?
thanks for your help!
Thank you so much for your work Rui.
Hi Ruy:
I try your new vpn.sh 1.0 version and I see some problem after uninstall it.
After uninstall it, the dns resolution is loose.
vpn@vpn:~/Descargas$ vpn.sh uninstall
[sudo] password for vpn:
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
CShell stopped
/opt/etc/vpn.conf not deleted. If you are not reinstalling do:
sudo rm -f /opt/etc/vpn.conf
cat /opt/etc/vpn.conf
VPN="URL"
VPNIP="IP"
SPLIT=""
chroot+checkpoint software deleted
vpn@vpn:~/Descargas$ sudo ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 jun 3 01:22 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/interfaces/NetworkManager
vpn@vpn:~/Descargas$ sudo resolvconf -u
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
if a delete /etc/resolv.conf file, and create a symbolic link from /etc/resolv.conf to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and execute "resolvconf -u", the problem is resolved.
The version 0.999 dont have this problem.
Thanks.
Please tell me distribution and version
Linux mint 20.3 cinamon
Many thanks for the alert, did a botched copy and paste rule that ruined Debian DNS when writing code for Arch. Fixed.
No problem Ruy, I am your tester...:-)
whist we are providing a solution to the thread, we also hijacked it. Add me here https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruribeiro/
Check it out, https://github.com/ruyrybeyro/chrootvpn/releases/tag/v1.91 ; far better support for several distros, rpm + deb
btw, seen this? https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-VPN/CShell-SNX-chrooted-wrapper-automated-setup-fo...
pushed also v1.02, to deal with a nscd "feature"
Thank you for the hint! Issue was not the missing local certificate trust but u-block-origin blocked the localhost:14186 access. After whitelisting the mobile access blade in u-block-origin the connect button worked and the vpn connection started!
