How can I stop Checkpoint's VPN program from automatically starting on my Mac? Then how do start it manually?
Checkpoint’s Endpoint Security VPN Client starts when I log into my Mac (Mac OS X 10.9.5).
- How can I make it not start automatically?
- Then, how can I start it manually when I need it?

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.
