Vorbemerkung

Der Securepoint VPN-Client liegt in verschiedenen Versionen vor:

Installation über Installer

Mit dem Securepoint Windows VPN Installer steht eine komfortable Möglichkeit für Download Installation zur Verfügung:
  • Der Installer erkennt automatisch die verwendet Systemarchitektur (x64 bzw. arm64)
  • Er lädt dann seinerseits die jeweils aktuellste Version des VPN-Clients und
  • installiert diese bzw.
  • aktualisiert eine vorhandene Installation.
  • Alternativ lädt er die Portable Version und speichert diese lokal ohne Installation.
  • Damit ist für ein späteres Update kein Zugriff auf das Resellerportal oder auf Github erforderlich.

    Der Installer muss einmalig heruntergeladen werden

  • The download of the installer takes place:

    • in the reseller portal under Support Downloads Tab VPN-Client x

    2. Copy the installation file Securepoint_VPN_Client-<Version>.exe to the target devices via group policy (GPO) or software distribution system
    3. If necessary, create a folder with the name Config in the same way, which contains the respective configuration
    4. Install new VPN client via:C:\Securepoint_VPN_Client-<Version>.exe" /silent
    5. Migrate old VPN configuration if necessary:C:\Program Files\Securepoint VPN Client\Securepoint VPN Client.exe" /migrate
    6. Finally, users may have to deactivate the autostart of the old SSL VPN client and activate it in the new VPN client.

    Change autostart

    If you are switching from the previous SSL VPN client to the new Securepoint VPN client, you only need to make a few simple changes to the autostart settings to finalise the switch.


    Deactivate autostart for old client













    1. Click on the arrow to show the tray icons
    2. Right-click to open the menu for the SSL VPN Client
    3. Use the menu to display the client window
  • Open the menu by clicking on the cogwheel
  • Use the menu to switch to the client settings
  • Deselect the "Run on Windows startup" option
  • Close the window
  • Activate autostart for new client













    1. Click on the arrow to show the tray icons
    2. Right-click to open the menu for the Securepoint VPN Client or if not available, start the VPN client first
    3. Use the menu to show the client window
  • Navigate to the settings by clicking on the cogwheel
  • Activate the "Run on Windows startup" option
  • Ignoring runtime requirements

    notempty
    Ignoring the runtime environment is not recommended.

    When installing the client, it is possible to ignore the required runtime prerequisites

    • An option is displayed in the user interface (GUI) to not install the runtime requirements if they are missing on the system
      If the runtime requirements already exist, this option is not displayed
    • The parameter /ignore-prereq is used for the CLI
      .\Securepoint_VPN_Client-<Version>.exe /ignore-prereq /s
    This option is only useful if the runtime requirements
    • windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.12-win-x64.exe May be installed automatically
    • VC_redist.x64.exe May be installed automatically
    are already pre-installed on the system or the setup could not verify the files when downloading the runtime prerequisites.
    This can happen if Microsoft creates a patch for these and the checksum changes as a result.
    However, the following things must then be configured manually:
    1. The runtime requirements must be downloaded and installed manually before the client can be started.
    2. The service is not started automatically.
      This means that it must be started manually and configured to start automatically at system startup.
      This can be implemented as follows (using elevated rights):
      1. Start service:
        sc.exe start "Securepoint VPN Client Service"
      2. Configure service for automatic start:
        sc.exe config "Securepoint VPN Client Service" start=auto
        This causes the service to start automatically the next time the system is started. It is recommended to test these configurations. You can check whether the Securepoint VPN Client Service is started via "Services".
