Oh Where, Oh Where, Did My Check Point Client Go?

OK so, here we are months later and still no SecureClient for MAC running Leopard. WTF? On December 30th a Check Point staffer, Yoni, stated that it would be available on January 7th.

All, the public Early Availability of SecureClient for MAC, with support for MACOS 10.5 (Leopard) is delayed a bit and will begin on January 7th.

We’re still shooting for a General Availability in late January/ early February

Well, it’s now January 9th and no sign of the early access.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Dave,
Not sure if you have looked at this http://www.lobotomo.com. A couple buddies of mine use it and said it works pretty nice. You do have to make a few changes on the head end though.

Keep up the good blog!

Wow, thanks for the kind words. I do appreciate it. Thanks for the link as well. I have seen the IPSecuritas before but, admittedly I haven’t tried it myself. I’ll give’r a whirl.

cheers

Once you have lost patience with Checkpoint, try out the Juniper Secure Access SSL VPN appliances with Network Connect. This client installs and configures automatically (assuming local admin rights) after authentication and supports Windows (XP, Vista), Mac OS X and Linux. It can use either IPsec (ESP) or SSL/TLS, which is a useful feature. I will never want to go back to a VPN client solution after this.
