Configuring Check Point SSL Network Extender on Ubuntu 14.04/10

Configuring Check Point SSL network extender on windows will not be a problem, but configuring on linux may really a big problem if you couldn't install necessary dependencies and plugins. I, here describe how it was properly install on Ubuntu 14.04/10 and Linux Mint 17.2. I expect other Linux distributions will support this method.

Follow the bellow steps.

1. You need to update the Ubuntu system first. use software updater or type the bellow command on terminal.

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 sudo apt-get autoclean

2. install JDK and icedTea plugin. you need to install jdk 6, because check point extender will not support for java version 7 and will give an error as "java unavailable".

 sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk icedtea-plugin

3. Install necessary libraries.

 sudo apt-get install libpam0g:i386 libx11-6:i386 libstdc++5:i386

4. restart the Ubuntu so that the changes to be taken effect.

5. open the terminal and type the followings.

 sudo firefox <your-vpn-url>

6. Firefox will start with page similar to this.


7. click on the "settings". (Not the top right settings tab, click on the bellow one.)
you will go to the Native Application Settings page.

8. find the link at the bottom left, and download the installation for Linux. ("snx_install.sh" will download)

9. Open the terminal and type the following.

cd ~/Downloads
sudo sh snx_install.sh

(Installation successful message will appear)

10. Now you have successfully configured the everything, and go to the firefox again and click on connect button. few pop up window will appear(you should allow the pop ups in your browser) and press "yes" for them.

Installing and Configuring ndpi-netfilter for traffic controlling on ubuntu

nDPI is a ntop-maintained superset of the popular OpenDPI  library. Lots of projects have been done using this NDPI( Open and Extensible LGPLv3 Deep Packet Inspection Library ).  nDPI is used for application-layer detection of protocols, regardless of the port being used. This means that it is possible to both detect known protocols on non-standard ports (e.g. detect http non ports other than 80), and also the opposite (e.g. detect Skype traffic on port 80). This is because nowadays the concept of port=application no longer holds. List of protocols that can be detected using ndpi can be seen on ndpi page here.( http://www.ntop.org/products/deep-packet-inspection/ndpi/ ) Here i explain how to set up your own traffic controller using ndpi-netfilter which is very handy open project on github.
