In order to connect to the Medical University of Graz VPN on Checkpoint one needs to make small changes to the Strongswan configuration.
Install the following packages:
sudo apt install strongswan-charon libstrongswan-extra-plugins libstrongswan-standard-plugins network-manager-strongswan libcharon-extra-plugins strongswan-starter- charon-systemd-
Copy the mug.conf file from this repository to /etc/strongswan.d/:
sudo cp mug.conf /etc/strongswan.d/
Now you can configure a new Strongswan connection in Network-Manager. Use the vpn.medunigraz.at.crt from this repository as the certificate:
mkdir -p ~/.config/strongswan/ cp ~/Downloads/vpn.medunigraz.at.crt ~/.config/strongswan/
