I use both the Apple VPN client (L2TP over IPSec in Network preferences) and Checkpoint Endpoint Security client to connect to work.
SEP for Mac client versions earlier than 14.2 do not include a firewall. IPS was introduced in SEP 12.1.4, but broader firewall support (e.g. Traffic rules) and feature parity with the Windows product was not included until version SEP 14.2 and later. Endpoint Security VPN combines Remote Access VPN with Endpoint Security in a client that is installed on endpoint computers. It is recommended for managed endpoints that require a simple and transparent remote access experience together with desktop firewall rules. Mac clients for Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud do not support Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). As of macOS 10.13, you must authorize the SEP kernel extension after installation for SEP to fully function. Uninstall failure Checkpoint endpoint VPN E80.50. Hi, I installed the Checkpoint endpoint VPN Client E80.50; I put the files into the trash. Now I get the message 'Endpoint Security VPN build XXXXXXXXX is already installed on this computer.' When I try to reinstall. I can´t uninstall Endpoint Security VPN from Mac Pro with macOS Sierra.
Open download file on mac. The Checkpoint software gives a bit more feedback: 'Connection Failed: Enforce Firewall Policy failed'. This occurs after authentication of my username/password.
Both clients work fine on my MacBook which still has Mavericks.
Suggestions?

I think the unerlying issue is that Yosemite will not load kext (kernel extensions) unless they are signed by an authorized kernel extension developer. However in 10.8 and earlier, kexts could not be signed and signed kexts for 10.9+ will not load in <10.9.
I experienced the same issue loading unsigned tuntaposx for the vpnc cisco client.

You can override this behavior and allow the cpfw.kext to load in Yosemite by putting your computer into kext developer mode. This essentially reverts to the 10.9 behavior by allowing unsigned kexts to load.
Now reboot and your kext should load.
You can revert by doing this:

According to the debug logs this is related to a problem with loading /System/Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext
Deleting the site and re-creating it does not fix this problem.
Reggie p why me free mp3 download. Uninstalling and re-installing the Check Point Endpoint Security client (version E75.01) worked for me too and I am using a static IP (not DHCP) on my mac mini.
Note about uninstalling the Endpoint Security client E75.x and newer: Open the original DMG package you used to install the client and launch the Uninstaller shown. If you get an error message about your security settings not allowing non-appstore apps or untrusted applications from launching, hold down the Control key and then click on the Uninstaller. Selecting Open at this point will allow the Uninstaller to run.
I did confirm the uninstall removed and the reinstall did create a new /System/Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext file. I did not have to reboot but note I did shutdown the client before running the uninstaller.
However this may be a temporary fix as there is a Checkpoint Forum entry about another person who has also encountered this problem and has fixed it by uninstalling and installing but on a reboot the problem came back for them. That person tried versions E80.41 and E80.42. See https://forums.checkpoint.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21491&tstart=0
Another Check Point Mac VPN Yosemite thread is reporting similar issues where some claim their client still works after a reboot but others, including the author of the above thread, who continue to see the problem return after a reboot: https://forums.checkpoint.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21181&tstart=0

Version 80.60 has been released by Checkpoint. It works for me so far.

Brian's answer regarding kext developer mode also worked.

I set my Wifi to DHCP instead of static IP, then VPN worked for me.

I completly removed Check Point Endpoint Security client (version E80.42), rebooted computer and installed it again. Now it works ok. My WiFi is getting IP from router via DHCP.

I just re-installed Endpoint Security E75.01 after closing it (not un-installing it) and it worked correctly again.

Same thing is happening here. L2TP VPN fails if I have a static IP. If I switch to DHCP it works. I'm connecting to a Sonicwall NSA4500.
Fun bug, Apple. Hope it gets resolved in 10.10.1.
Just enter your SonicWALL’s public IP address, or host name, and VPN Tracker will do all of the hard work for you. You’ll be up and running on VPN in no time! Mac vpn client for sonicwall 1260 pro.

I tried the suggested solutions and they did not correct my issue. I reinstalled Yosemite to get my Apple IPSec client to work. The issue returned so I also turned off automatic updates for the OS and all applications. So far the issue has not returned for a third visit.
Check Point Endpoint Security Service Is Lost
As of Yosemite 10.10.2 it seems Apple fixed the bug.

I had such a hard time getting this figured out and when the solution was so freakin simple I felt I had to share.
I started to get an error when trying to connect to a checkpoint VPN using an endpoint client on my Macbook. The error was during the install and following attempts to run the program a pop up window would appear. In this window was the simple phrase 'Failed to create TrAPI'.
I had talked to a MAC 'specialist' and a checkpoint security 'specialist'. I was flagergasted when both responses was along the lines of 'Hmmm, I've never seent that before, so and so works fine.'
After months of digging around the Internet and trying various things like re-installing, removing other apps and doing a fresh OS install with a restore, all of which didn't help. I finally came across the fix today, and boy was it a simple one. You know the kinds, you smack yourself in the head and call yourself some not so nice names because of how simple it was. Of course you have a few choice words for your friends on the Internet who didn't put the information out there for all to use. I also must mention the nasty words for the people who I sought help from and had their higher than mightier attitudes since 'They haven't seen it before'. I'll save that rant for another blog entry.
Anyways folks, here it is:
