The E7x clients do operate a bit differently than the older R60 IPSEC client, I think the initial https connection from the client are for auth purposes, a change from the older hybrid mode auth. Even though no longer supported can you connect with the R60 client?, unless using visitor mode it will do native IPSEC with no SSL? Make sure your 443 port is not being stepped on by anything else, also have the proper license(s) in place, office mode was a freebie for the R60 client but no longer the case for the E7x client, which is a shame for such a needed feature. You still have complete control using simplified mode, it is just a mode to simplify the configuration of multiple VPN sites and a few other things, once you get over the sticker shock you will see simplified mode is the way to go. -GS

All I get is a back / cancel / help (which brings up the help file) button. If I must, I'll change to simplified mode, but I like traditional because I don't like anything to be automatic. I like complete control over everything. I appreciate your help! I hope we can fix this... -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:FW-1-MAILINGLIST@AMADEUS.US.CHECKPOINT.COM] On Behalf Of Sergio Alvarez Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 12:14 PM To: FW-1-MAILINGLIST@AMADEUS.US.CHECKPOINT.COM Subject: Re: [FW-1] Setup of Remote VPN on R75+ Global Properties > Remotes Access > VPN Auth and Ecryp > IKE over TCP -----> here you enable support for TCP encapsulation on the gateway Gateway Properties > IPSec VPN > Remote Access > Support NAT Traversal ------> Here you enable support for a propietary UDP Encapsulation on ------> the gateway. Now, on the client side you must enable these also, otherwise the client won't try to use them when trying to establish VPN. Now, I unfortunately don't have handy an installation of the new versions of the VPN clients, but on the old ones, I remember you go to Settings > Properties of the Site > Advanced and you configured there the use of TCP and/or UDP Encap > (also enable/disable Visitor mode). If you are still seeing HTTPS from the client IP and destined to the firewall on your logs, then your client is still trying to use "Visitor Mode". Finally, you will find more help from people, forums and documentation if you turn to simplified VPN mode, traditional mode is pretty old.
