## Solution

We are at Check Point always strive to offer cutting-edge technologies in our products. Today I'm inviting you to join our new EA program for early adopters of IPv6 addresses. We know, some of you already meet with IPv6 from your Internet Service Providers, and that is kind of a challenge for you to adopt your Remote Access infrastructure. Check Point is her to assist you with this challenge.

Today we start offering early version of Remote Access IPsec VPN client which may work in IPv6 networks. As this is our first release, we are pointing your attention to that disclaimer.

Disclaimer
----------

Side build of E88.10 standalone VPN client contains initial support of IPv6 on client side in NAT64 scenario, which means:

* Security gateway resides in IPv4 network
* Security gateway may be of any version, starting R81 and including upcoming R82
* Client may reside in either IPv4 network or in IPv6 network
* If client resides in IPv6 network, it is obligation of Internet Service Provider to implement:
  * NAT64 translation between IPv6 and IPv4 networks
  * Provide DNS64 service which resolves names into IPv6 and supplies IPv6 prefix according to RFC 7050 and RFC 8880

Although EA version of the client has passed quality check, it might have bugs and some features may not operate properly. As of now we are aware of following issues:

* Roaming from IPv6 to IPv6 network may not work
* Split DNS not yet supported
* Link Selection not yet supported
* Simultaneous Login Prevention not yet supported
* Location Awareness, DC-based not yet supported (interface-based should work)
* Secondary Tunnel Resilience for ATM not yet supported
* Proxy Detection and Replacement not yet supported

We will be glad to hear your early feedback on that version. Should you want to join this EA program, please approach you Check Point representative and refer to this SK.
