Can anyone verify the md5sum of this script? I got

4372e9936e2dfb1d1ebcef3ed4dd7787  snx_install.sh

@icedwater got
md5sum snx_install_800007075.sh
4372e9936e2dfb1d1ebcef3ed4dd7787 snx_install_800007075.sh
but likely because we got it from same source. Did u make it work?
Thanks,

It works also for me. thanks!

I used 800007075 until the checkpoint server was updated to use TLS 1.1 . After that, until today, I used the following solution/workaround

Looks like older versions of SNX are not able to work with TLS 1.1. I am playing now with 800010003 from Checkpoint's site (link given by @yurayko, thanks), but no success. From "connection aborted" I have shifted to "authentication failed". When looking into the debug log (-g option from command line) I see, that all is ok, but the communication on the end is not wrong, looks like a wrong format:

Hi, why does the snx_install.sh script have 4000 lines of binary code at the end? Isn't it supposed to be a shell script?

that's why I didn't run the script

Hi guys!
I have segfault ([1] 147836 segmentation fault (core dumped)) and can run it again only after restarting the OS (Ubuntu 21.10). I assume there is some file that prevents the snx to run again. How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

May be tunsnx remains active after crash?
ip a ?
Also try to start snx with debug snx -g

I used to work with SNX connecting directly to CheckPoint VPN servers.

Meanwhile, CheckPoint VPN/snx was updated for TLS 1.2 and now CheckPoint checks for the user agent. Afaik, neither the old standalone version of SNX in the command line, nor snxvpn work anymore. Nowadays, it has to be SNX+CShell agent+Java+an Internet browser.

SNX and CShell install have also their share of problems, and I wrote a script to get around them and install them in a chroot, supporting many Linux distributions.

See https://github.com/ruyrybeyro/chrootvpn and the new chosen answer for https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/450131/vpn-ssl-network-extender-in-firefox

In the meanwhile my solution was slightly adapted to Debian 12 and more linux distros.

I am using:
Ubuntu 24.04
Check Point's Linux SNX build 800010003

image

I was getting "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" trying to connect to my job vpn, my other team members that also use linux (Mint) were connecting normally so obviously the problem was my OS. Doing some investigation and I found the /etc/resolv.conf with some crazy data, deleted the file, rebooted the OS so the file could be autogenerated again and SNX was able to connect normally.

image

There should be some way to autogenerate the /etc/resolv.conf without rebooting after deleting it, if the stub file exists, try:
sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
then
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved && sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
then try reconnecting to your vpn.

Everytime I disconnect from my job vpn (snx -d) it leaves some dirty data in resolv.conf that might break following attempts to reconnect, so if you have problems connecting check resolv.conf.

I have this error every now and then. I was able to overcome this problem by restarting resolved as you mentioned:
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

chrootvpn did not work for me, as the Checkpoint I'm connecting to is pretty old
