I have released an update to this blog post: See
In what is becoming a bit of a , today I’ll be covering how to get Check Point SSL Network Extender installed under kubuntu. From the :
SSL Network Extender is a browser plug-in that provides clientless remote access, while delivering full network connectivity for any IP-based application.
