#!/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) | |
