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.”

    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.”
