[SOLVED] Check Point SNX (Linux VPN client)

GabiAPF · 11-14-2016, 11:16 AM

I have installed the Check Point VPN client, but I am unable to connect to a server. I get the following message when running snx 181.30.128.30 -u <username>:

Could anyone please help me figure out what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

I was taken the same error. Then I updated my snx to version 800008073 and it's working fine!

GabiAPF · 03-16-2020, 11:01 AM

First of all, thank you for your reply, lfnando. Could you please tell me where I can download build 800008073? So far I have only been able to find build 800007075, which produces the same error as the old one.

I've got it in the company's intranet.
Do u still have the same error?

Try this:

Thanks for trying to help, but that is exactly what I tried last time and I am still getting the same error. It would be great if you could help me get the version you are using.

jessicabrobert · 03-25-2020, 09:18 AM

did you use any vpn service on linux, before?

GabiAPF · 03-25-2020, 09:19 AM

Yes, I used OpenVPN and it worked fine.

Hello GabiAPF!

Maybe you are just forgetting to use "-s" (without cotes) before the server's name. Try this:

snx -s 181.30.128.30 -u <username>

I hope it works!

GabiAPF · 04-02-2020, 09:02 AM

Oh, that was it! Thank you very much!

Since you posted this exact question in another thread, can you mark that one solved if your solution worked?

Sorry, but the question in the other thread is different. It has to do with connecting to a Windows server from a Linux client.

sevendogsbsd · 04-02-2020, 12:05 PM

Right but it was the exact same problem with the same software and scenario so I thought it was the same or related post. My apologies.

felipeabrao · 04-02-2020, 02:01 PM

No problem! Thank you!

Hi

can I use this snx -s gateway.domain.co.za -u username because I have no idea what ip these solutions are taking about or need, I have a url to use which I use with Checkpoint vpn client on windows.

I just get connection aborted the whole time I have re- installed snx about a hundred million times by now using every single solution I can find on the internet and I cannot get it working - I am very much a linux toddler - I copy and paste and hope like hell it works - I don't understand half the techincal explanations about why I have to do the steps - so I just follw the steps as best I can - no luck so far.

somebody would literally have to be on a shared screen with me and hold my hand and dictate the entire procces or I am never going to get this working. is something like that even possible - please I am so desperate at this stage and I don't want to give up.
