If using Firefox, is advised to have it installed before running this script The CShell daemon runs with a separate non-privileged user, and not using the logged in user If the status command of this script shows CShell or SNX new versions remotely, uninstall, and install the chroot setup again įor (re)installing newer versions of SNX/CShell delete the chroot with vpn.sh uninstall and vpn -i again after the configurations are saved in /opt/etc/vpn.conf, vpn -i is enough The script/chroot is not designed to allow automatic remote deploying of new versions of both CShell (or SNX?)-apparently this functionality is not supported for Linux clients. The CShell daemon writes over X11 if VPN is not working when called/installed from a ssh session, or after logging in, start/restart the script using a X11 graphical terminal The user installing/running the script has to got sudo rights (for root) įor the CShell daemon to start automatically upon the user XDG login, the user must be able to sudo /usr/bin/vpn.sh or /usr/local/bin/vpn.sh without a password The Web page of Mobile access portal has to open in a browser and allow login with or without this script/SNX/CShell installed Installs in /etc/sudoers sudo permission for the user Self-updates this script if new version available Splits tunnel VPN - use only after session is up The files wont be loaded from the remote CheckPointĬustom prefix path other than / and sslvpnĭisconnects VPN/SNX session from the command line Gets snx/cshell_install.sh from cwd directory, if present Proxy to use in apt inside chroot ' ALL output for FILE Selects VPN DNS full name at install time Vpn.sh disconnect|split|selfupdate|fixdnsĬhanges default chroot /opt/chroot directoryĪlternate conf file. INSTRUCTIONSįor the stable release, download rpm or deb file from the last release. Have a look near the end of this document, for the more than 110 recent versions/distributions successfully tested. Void, Gentoo, Slackware, Deepin,NuTyx,Pisi/Kwort and KaOS variants are not so thoroughly tested. Notably when Firefox is a snap, or the distribution already has a default Firefox policy file, a new policy won't be installed.Īs long the version of the Debian/RedHat/SUSE/Arch distribution is not at the EOL stage, chances are very high the script will run successfully. In addition, instead of adding the localhost self-signed Agent certificate to a user personal profile as the official setup does, this script install a server-wide global Firefox policy file instead when possible. The Mobile Access Portal Agent, unlike the ordinary cshell_install.sh official setup, runs with its own non-privileged user which is different than the logged in user. nf, VPN IP address, routes and X11 "rights" "bleed" from the chroot directories and kernel shared with the host to the host Linux OS. The Linux host runs Firefox (or another browser). The SNX binary, the CShell agent/daemon (and Java) install and run under chrooted Debian. The binary SNX VPN client needs a 32-bits environment. Whilst the script supports several Linux distributions as the host OS, it still uses Debian i386 for the chroot "light container".ĬShell CheckPoint Java agent needs Java (already in the chroot) and X11 desktop rights. both SNX and CShell behave on odd ways furthermore, Fedora and others already deprecated 32-bit packages necessary for SNX the chroot setup is built to counter some of those behaviours and provide a more secure setup. This script downloads the Mobile Access Portal Agent (CShell) and the SSL Network Extender (SNX) CheckPoint installation scripts from the firewall/VPN we intend to connect to, and installs them in a chrooted environment.īeing SNX still a 32-bits binary together with the multiples issues of satisfying cshell_install.sh requirements, a chroot is used in order to not to corrupt (so much) the Linux user desktop, and yet still tricking snx / cshell_install.sh into "believing" all the requirements are satisfied e.g. Tiago Teles - Contributions for Arch Linux □Nominated for best tool of the year 2022 at Checkpoint user forums□ / Recent activity VPN client chroot'ed Debian setup/wrapperįor Debian/Ubuntu/RedHat/CentOS/Fedora/Arch/SUSE/Gentoo/Slackware/Void/Deepin/KaOS/Pisi/Kwort/Clear/NuTyx/Mariner Linux based hosts Checkpoint R80+ VPN client chroot wrapper
