Hello  Rock.

 

The only Check Point's currently supported VPN client for Linux is SSL Network Extender (SNX). It officially supports these Linux distributions (sk65210😞

  • Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 16.10, 17.04
  • openSUSE 11.4, 12.2
  • Fedora 15, 16, 18
  • RHEL 6.1, 7.3, 7.4

Unless you count SNX, there isn’t a Check Point branded VPN client for Linux.
With R81 gateways, it is possible to use the StrongSWAN client in addition to SNX.

There is an Endpoint Security client of sorts for Linux currently in EA but it does not include VPN.

Thank you, and I was aware of that sk. I was more thinking the actual physical vpn client linux download, ie E84.71 endpoint client, but guess not available.

Thanks again!!

Officially it might be supported only on those distributions/versions, ran natively on a couple more, however there are ways to run it on almost all recent distribution releases https://github.com/ruyrybeyro/chrootvpn

Scroll down that URL to see a list of distributions/versions tested with that method.

Hi, I am using SNX on a corporate setting. StrongSwan implies added config parameters on the CheckPoint side, right?
