IPSecuritas Mac OS X Snow Leopard CheckPoint VPN

Question

I used to use CheckPoint's VPN client on my Mac OS X (Leopard), but recently I upgraded to Snow Leopard, my VPN client stop working right after that, so I downloaded IPSecuritas and after some time I was able to VPN in. The problem is I get disconnected and since I work through ssh, it's gets very annoying. any ideas where can I look?

Solution 1

after very long time playing around i was able to solve this issue

first of all in "Options" i had uncheck MODE_CFG and the other thing I did was under "General" local side endpoint suppose to be select as a host and that field should be empty, after that it works perfectly for me, no disconnections at all

Solution 2

I don't think snow leopard has been released yet, and is still under NDA/beta. Not sure how much help you'll get here on this.

Snow Leopard is due for release in September sometime.

I've been running preview build for a while and I think it's pretty stable, I haven't had any problems at all, and it's more IPSecuritas and CheckPoint question rather then Mac OS X

i haven't tried with snow leopard but i know for a fact it won't work with checkpoint, i used to use it with cisco on leopard it worked great

Bummer, have you tried configuring your client as "site" vpn (IPSec)? I think Checkpoint uses some proprietary "user-vpn" crap. May be worth looking at VPNC - unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc , not sure if it would be any help at all, but worth a try.
