It's certainly not that different than it was back in 2000 when I wrote Essential Check Point FireWall-1. It shouldn't be that different in any modern version of Check Point. I am going to show screenshots and steps from R80.40. However, if your specific use case will work within these limitations, SecuRemote is an option. Both of these licenses include support Office Mode. Applications that tend to break when subject to Address Translation will also break when used with IP Pool NAT as well.įor DNS, it is possible to forward queries for specific domains inside the encryption domain and everything else will go to the Internet as normal.Īgain, for the vast majority of customers, we recommend using Mobile Access Blade or SandBlast Agent/Endpoint VPN licenses. This will allow inbound connectivity where the client presents a predictable IP to your internal network, but will not allow reverse connections to the client. The lack of Office Mode can be at least partially worked around using a feature called IP Pool NAT. This creates a number of problems, including IP address conflicts, client IPs overlapping with the encryption domain, and others. Without Office Mode, the client only has its IP address on the local network it is connected to. If the client is sitting behind a NAT device, this is the client's non-routable IP address. Office Mode assigns your remote client an IP address, DNS and WINS information as if the client were on the local network. No Desktop Firewall or Compliance Checks such that you can get with Check Point Mobile or Endpoint VPN.
It's Windows only (L2TP clients can be used on other platforms, but their configuration is out of the scope of this document).SecuRemote has a few important limitations: However, there are some use cases where SecuRemote can still work, thus this quick primer. In general, Mobile Access Blade and/or Endpoint VPN (sold with SandBlast Agent currently) are better suited for enterprise use cases than SecuRemote and are what we generally recommend to customers. It's called SecuRemote, and it's a free IPsec VPN client you can use on Windows. However, there's another solution that every Check Point customer has access to, provided you have a VPN gateway license, which almost every customer does. We've written a fair bit about Mobile Access Blade and Endpoint VPN over the last several days.
