Cisco VPN client 5.0/07.0440 and ZoneAlarm 11 (Win7)

[Paul Tulkens]

Hi,

I have a conflict between my Cisco VPN client 5.0/07.0440 and ZoneAlarm Security Suite version 11 (ZASS; for Win7).

If ZASS is on, the Cisco client is unable to establish a connection with the server even if I give full access of the Cisco Client to Internet ir if I put the firewall to a low security level.

The only way to have the Cisco client working is to exit ZASS, launch the Cisco client, establish a connection and then retart ZASS.

Is there any way to solev this annoying problem ?

Hello Paul,

This seems to be a known issue:

Client cvpnd.exe errors on bootup if certain vendor's firewall installed.

However, just to try further options, what if you try this?

Restart VPN Client Service if You Install VPN Client before Zone Alarm

Also check: Check Point Integrity Firewall Incompatibility, found in the link above.

From the Zone Alarm FW, make sure you have the following advanced firewall options enabled:

Allow VPN protocols

Allow uncommon protocols at high security

Enable IPv6 networking
