(as mentioned, I am using it myself in AntiX/Debian Stretch) A workmate using the version of Ubuntu your Mint is based, followed my instructions last week using the snx version 800007075, and has been working fine. then follow getting Checkpoint VPN SSL Network Extender working in the command line, for setting it up with more modern version of Debian derivates. You have got to download the old 800007075 version, separately from here The newer/your version needs the python hack/tools.įor using the CheckPoint snx program in the command line, without the python tools, you do not download the snx client that comes with your firewall appliance. The 800007075 works without the snxconnect python instructions. I have been using snx version 800007075 for months now, with Debian Stretch, and it has been working pretty well. So, I recommend using the older version, that does not need the python tools. Newer versions might work, with snxconnect to complement the missing routines in the newer snx versions (hence the python tools), however the reverse engineering of the missing snx functionalities still presents some peculiarities. So, the snx version 800007097 you are using, won't work, when trying to connect to the VPN from the command line. Maybe my fault, in that I am not entirely clear on that.
Per my post, that you are linking to in your question, 800007075 is the last one having the routines for doing the VPN full setup/configuration in Linux/Debian derivates from the command line. Use of snx has not been supported from the command line after version 800007075 (from 2012) newer versions only work officially when invoked from a Java Applet, supplied when browsing the Checkpoint appliance. Checkpoint has discontinued (official) support for their snx client, on the Linux command line, a couple of years ago.
