Install SNX Debian 13

To install Check Point's SSL Network Extender (SNX) on Debian 13, you can use the snx-packaged project, which provides pre-packaged versions of SNX for Debian/Ubuntu systems The latest version available is 800008409, which is compatible with Debian 13 (Bookworm)

Follow these steps:

  1. Install the required 32-bit architecture and dependencies:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

  2. Download and install the SNX package:

    wget https://github.com/sergey-belikov/snx-packaged/releases/download/800008409-1/snx-800008409_800008409-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt -y install ./snx-800008409_800008409-1_amd64.deb

  3. Create a configuration file ~/.snxrc with your VPN server and username:

    cat << EOF > ~/.snxrc
server vpn.gate.domain.name
username your-vpn-username
reauth yes
EOF
chmod 0600 ~/.snxrc

  4. Connect to the VPN using the snx command:

    snx

The snx-packaged project packages the SNX binary and its required 32-bit dependencies (i386 libraries) into a standard Debian package, making installation straightforward This method does not interfere with any SNX installation performed by Check Point's original snx_install.sh script
