Checkpoint endpoint security vpn mac os big sur

bubenkoff / checkpoint.sh

#! /bin/bash

#

# The reason of creating this script is that Endpoint Security VPN installs it’s own application firewall kext cpfw.kext

# which prevents for example PPTP connections from this computer, which is not appropriate if you need subj connection just

# from time to time

#

# Usage: ./checkpoint.sh

#

# The script checks if Enpoint Security VPN is running. If it is, then it shuts it down, if it is not, it fires it up.

# Or, make an Automator action and paste the script.

# You will need sudo power, of course

#

# To prevent Endpoint Security VPN from starting automatically whenever you restart your Mac, edit this file:

# `/Library/LaunchAgents/com.checkpoint.eps.gui.plist`

# And change the values of `RunAtLoad` and `KeepAlive` to `false`

# [Source](https://superuser.com/questions/885273)

SERVICE= ‘ Endpoint_Security_VPN ‘

if pgrep $SERVICE > /dev/null

then

# $SERVICE is running. Shut it down

[ -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist ] && sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist

[ -d /Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext ] && sudo kextunload /Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext

[ -d ‘ /Applications/Check Point Firewall.app ‘ ] && open -W -n -a ‘ /Applications/Check Point Firewall.app ‘ —args —disable

killall $SERVICE

else

# $SERVICE is not running. Fire it up

[ -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist ] && sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist

This is super helpful! Thanks for sharing! One minor modification: on the second to last line, «2>1 >» should probably be «&>» instead to direct all output (STDERR and STDOUT) to /dev/null. As written, this redirects STDERR to a file in the current working directory named «1».

I’m deeply touched by this script. Thanks. Thank you very much. I can finally AirDrop (and much more) again from my Mac again.

You changed my life from now on, until I’ll have to deal with this VPN client.

BTW the process running on my Mac (with the client shut down) was /Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Connect/TracSrvWrapper (my version of the SW is, I believe, Endpoint Security VPN E80 something)

Based on the Big Sur EA E84.30 release here I downloaded and installed it over my E82.50 mac os Catalina (10.15) and it worked fine.

I then upgraded to Big Sur (11.1) where I can connect and authenticate OK but then the connection fails with «Enforce Firewall Policy failed».

I checked the trac.log and it shows the KEXT is found, loaded OK but then fails trying to start the firewall. Is this supposed to work with EA E84.30 on Big Sur? I didn’t see anything in the release notes that indicated this was an issue.

Apple changed quite a bit with applications using kext files. After installation of the new client you should see in System Preferences>Network>a new adapter called com.checkpoint.fw.app. This will allow the firewall policy to be enforced under 11.1

Also ensure that the relevant process have been given full access under System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Privacy>Full Disk Access

The Launch Dameon that runs should be present under /Macintosh HD/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.cpfwd.plist

I had also sent an email to EP4Mac_Feedback@checkpoint.com and received a reply from Pavel Voleyko who said this was a known issue when doing an upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur with the EA release, supposed to be fixed in GA. Apparently my system retained just the kernel extension (KEXT) firewall from the old version and failed to install the system extension firewall configuration Big Sur was expecting.

Per Pavel’s advice I ran this to unload the kernel extension (if it exists):

The run this to allow a re-install:

I got it working by doing a reinstall. The first attempt or two didn’t seem to work. My last re-install I also disabled my Sophos Home and after that I was prompted with the security alerts to allow the system extension firewall filtering.

I did not try to uninstall. Just a re-install to preserve my existing site settings.

The issue was valid for EA version of E84.30 Standalone VPN client for macOS. And it was fixed in GA version of E84.30 from sk170513.

Note that it seems to be back in the latest EA for E85.30, but with a twist. I was already running Big Sur, but had installed the custom version of E84.30 that added support for SAML authentication. I had disabled the firewall extension because we don’t use it (deleted it from System Prefs -> Network Settings entirely because it kept getting in this state where the VPN was connected but not traffic was being allowed). Anyway, I upgraded to E85.30 EA because I needed the fix in E84.70 for the IP address renewal bug but I also needed the SAML support, so this is the only option available.

After what looked like a clean upgrade, any attempt to connect would result in the tunnel being dropped for the error about enforcing firewall policy. This is strange because we don’t have the full license for Endpoint Security VPN, but there is no option for Check Point Mobile on macOS and we have always used the full Endpoint Security VPN client with no issues.

These instructions worked for me, I was able to reinstall and this time I allowed the firewall filter. All seems to be working well.

Just adding this note here in case others find this posting when searching about this issue with the latest EA (E85.30).

I’m facing the issue that I cannot install (re-install) the latest checkpoint version (E80.89). I also tried to install older versions but I always get the same error message (see picture as well):

«Check Point Endpoint Security VPN can not be installed on this computer
Check Point Endpoint Security is installed on this computer. Please install the VPN blade as part of Endpoint Security.»

Before installing the latest version of Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN, I have used the uninstaller located in /Library/Applications Support/Checkpoint.

I was already looking for files which could be part of the VPN application, but I could find anymore.

I hope that you guys can help me out, because I need to run this application.

«Before installing the latest version of Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN, I have used the uninstaller located in /Library/Applications Support/Checkpoint. » — and what was shown on the command line then ? Was the CheckPoint folder removed ?

You also should note the differences between Endpoint Security client for Mac and Endpoint Security VPN for Mac !

Описание

VPN Plus lets you keep safe on the Internet.

Nowadays, privacy is a luxury!

Whenever we pay our bills, manage our bank accounts, or log in to our favorite social networks, our credentials, account numbers, billing address, and other private data may end up in the crosshairs of identity thieves.

VPN Plus protects all your online activities with just one click.

— Automatically create and manage a network profile in the macOS System Preferences. Zero manual configuration.

— Select the most rapid VPN server at the time of making connection.

— When VPN is dropped on bad network condition, the app can reconnect to VPN automatically.

— Two different VPN technologies bundled in one app. UDP protocol is faster and better for ordinary users. TCP protocol is more secure.

# Your privacy matters

— The app does not require a username/password to login. So users are 100% anonymous to the service provider.

— No log is kept on the server side, except for the IP address during the VPN session, and when the session ends, the information is discarded.

Пользователи VPN-сервиса Check Point столкнулись с проблемами из-за просроченного сертификата

Компания предупреждала о наличии патча, исправляющего проблему, еще в августе 2019 года.

Утро нового года обернулось неприятным сюрпризом для некоторых пользователей устаревших версий сервиса удаленного доступа Check Point Remote Access VPN, которые не смогли подключиться к сети в связи с окончанием срока действия сертификата, истекшим 1 января 2021 года.

Примечательно, что компания предупреждала о наличии патча, исправляющего проблему, еще в августе 2019 года, но, судя по всему, некоторые клиенты Check Point пропустили сообщение или не смогли применить исправление из-за политик организаций.

На прошлой неделе компания выпустила еще одно уведомление, в котором предупредила, что решения Endpoint/VPN E80.81 — E81.10 (только версия для Windows ) и агент SandBlast E80.61 — E81.10 (только версия для Windows) перестанут нормально работать с 1 января 2021 года.

«Эти более не поддерживаемые решения прекратят функционировать 1 января 2021 года. Начиная с этой даты, после перезагрузки компьютера, версии клиента Remote Access VPN and Endpoint Security Client E81.10 и ниже могут перестать работать, а обновиться не получится», — предупредила компания.

Как рассказал изданию The Register один из читателей, работающий в правительственной организации, из-за истекшего срока действия сертификата примерно 1 600 ноутбуков, выделенных сотрудникам, не смогли подключиться к сети. Предлагаемый Check Point патч заменяет .SYS файл без задействования администратора, что запрещено правилами организации, пояснил источник.

В свою очередь, представители Check Point сообщили изданию, что начали информировать пользователей устаревших версий о проблеме еще до нового года. Сколько клиентов уже применили патч, в компании не сообщили.
