Hi Philippe
In my company they have a checkpoint firewall, there is a software
for windows, securemote, to connect to it and stablish a VPN. I'd like
to do the same from my debian box. I have checked on checkpoint's site
and the only thing related to linux is a quite old version for Red Hat
I'm not sure it'll work. Any of you have tried to stablish a VPN from
Debian/linux with a Checkpoint firewall?


I have it working in site-to-site mode not in roadwarrior mode like how
it works with Securemote/Secureclient.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean, which client or how
do you connect?


Site-to-Site means two gateways establishing a connection. The two
gateways have fixed IP addresses.
I have this scenario working with Strongswan on a Linux gateway
connecting to a Checkpoint VPN-1.

Roadwarriors means a client with unknown IP connects to a gateway (the
Checkpoint in you case). I believe the authentication protocol used by
Checkpoint with Securemote/Secureclient is non-standard so I'm not sure
you can connect to it easily with an Open Source solution.
