RE: linux vpn client(road warrior) connecting to checkpoint firewall



After reading your question i thought to respond immediately with the simple answer, that you should
use securemote/secureclient from checkpoint, but i decided to check if the specifications first to make
sure my assumption is correct.
And to my big suprise, it turns out that checkpoint does not have a unix implementation of securemote.
I mean, there is not even a mention of a unix client solution. Is it possible that checkpoint thinks that a unix should not be regarded as a remote workstation?
Also, i think i would settle for some script or a refference to a 3rd party product, and saw none.

As it turns out, only microsoft windows is considered as a remote workstation at checkpoint.
 
If i am wrong, please correct me. I would be more than happy to find this to be wrong.

Hi,
anyone knows ,if its possible , to connect "linux laptop" with dynamic ip to checkpoint

I suppose,that if it possible ,it will be with freeswan(1.91).
