disable autostart Checkpoint's VPN on macOS

How can I stop Checkpoint's VPN program from automatically starting on my Mac? Then how do start it manually

To stop it from starting automatically, edit /Library/LaunchAgents/com.checkpoint.eps.gui.plist and change:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>

To:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<off/>

Tried with both "off" & "false" option, but didn't help me to stop auto-starting on v89.10.
I still see "endpointsecurityd" process running for every restart.
