good afternoon, how to delete the check point, it hangs in the tray and does not close it or delete it, remains in autorun, swears at the rights, went through the administrator, still does not allow you to completely delete this program. Please help me with some advice

[@Prrcomputers]

Normally, as long as you have local administrative rights on the PC, you should be able to uninstall the program in the traditional way (Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, or Settings > Apps > Installed Apps in Win 11).
Check Point did release a patch for older versions of the VPN client which was supposed to help if there are uninstall issues. I've not tried it, but have heard good things. My first recommendation would be to open a ticket with Check Point support. But if you are unable to do that, you might consider giving the patcher a try, using caution as appropriate: support.checkpoint.com/results/download/111859

​​@PRR Computers, LLC I wanted to find out if it's just my pc or what but when I connect to checkpoint it manages to connect but every after 2 minutes it brings a prompt for me enter the password again and when I try my work sites they don't work so I wanted to find out whether it's my machine or not

Hi Alexander, it sounds like the VPN tunnel may be timing out. There is a known issue with this for firmware versions R80.40, R81, R81.10, and there is a hotfix which can be applied to take care of it. I recommend you reach out to Check Point Support to have them troubleshoot and verify the issue, and they can supply the hotfix if that is what is needed. Best of luck! www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/

By the way, here is a KB article that describes the issue I mentioned and what may be going on for you: support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk178891

Thank you for the very good video. Is it possible to do a connection between Endpoint Security to another Endpoint Security (as a laptop to server)?

[@Prrcomputers]

I don't believe there is a way to facilitate a direct connection between a laptop and a server using Endpoint Security. If the server is inside the network protected by your Check Point appliance, then the laptop could connect to that network using EndPoint Security, and once the VPN connection is established, you would then be able to connect to the server using whatever means are available, for example, accessing shared folders on the server, connecting to the server via Remote Desktop, etc.
In short, Endpoint Security is designed to faciliate secure connection to a network, through a Check Point appliance, by a computer that is outside that network. So what Endpoint Security focuses on is that connection to the network protected by the Check Point, but it does not itself handle connection to a specific machine/server within the network. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi schlomi, I'm not sure I understand. Can you let me know which part of the process in the video isn't working for you? If you can reference a timecode in the video where I'm showing something but it's not working for you, I may be able to suggest something. Thanks!
