After installing the package, enable/start the systemd service (eg: systemctl enable --now cato-client.service).

You can then manage your connection with cato-sdp

quick update: I got the latest version to install but with some alterations that should not be upstreamed:

works with a different url hack (url pulled from https://clientdownload.catonetworks.com/ instructions):

source=("cato-client-install-${pkgver}.deb::https://clientdownload.catonetworks.com/public/clients/cato-client-install.deb"

Replace the first of the sha256sum with a sha calculated using:

curl -LsS "https://clientdownload.catonetworks.com/public/clients/cato-client-install.deb" | sha256sum

When I ran cato, I got version:

pkgver=5.4.0
pkgrel=1006

(if you are not sure what I am talking about: download the PKGBUILD from this page, make the changes that I suggested, and run makepkg)

Any chance this can be bumped to the latest version from Cato (5.3.0.382)? If I try to update via cato-sdp update, I am getting:

Failed to install new client version, please contact your administrator

Tried with sudo cato-sdp update, again to no avail; this time the output is:

Not allowed to update cato [version: ]

New version 5.3.0.382 is available from Cato.
