How can I stop Checkpoint's VPN program from automatically starting on my Mac? Then how do start it manually?

Checkpoint’s Endpoint Security VPN Client starts when I log into my Mac (Mac OS X 10.9.5).

  • How can I make it not start automatically?
  • Then, how can I start it manually when I need it?

To stop it from starting automatically, edit /Library/LaunchAgents/com.checkpoint.eps.gui.plist and change:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>

To:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>

Then to start it when you need it, look in the Applications folder, it’s called, “Endpoint Security VPN.”


Simplest way to stop the Check Point End Client auto launch on Mac OS.

Right click the End client padlock in the 'Menu Bar'. From the Drop-down select VPN Options> When the Options popup window opens, Select> the Properties Button> next, Select> Settings tab> Under the Always-Connect section> Un-check the box> Enable Always-Connect! Click (OK) to save the configuration. Presto...no more annoying auto launch logon window.

Next time you need to connect to your VPN: Right click the padlock in the Menu Bar and select Connect from the Drop-down.
