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.”

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

    In MacOS High Sierra the steps are nearly the same but one more file needs to be changed. Just do the following:



    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 do the same in one more file, edit /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.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.”
