Last month I had no other alternative but to reach a server through a Check Point ’s VPN. Fortunately the editor provides a Linux client to access its proprietary stack.

The version I found to work on my Ubuntu 11.04 is the SSL Network Extender (SNX) R71 package that can be downloaded there ( source  ).

Just for reference, the build working for me is numbered 800005013 , and here is a copy of what to expect when the connection succeed:

 1$ snx -s vpn.example.net -u my_user
