# Policy Server daemon on Remote Access VPN Gateway is turned off by default

**Product:** Remote Access VPN  
**Version:** R81.20, R82  
**Last Modified:** 2025-09-07

## Solution

For Remote Access VPN Gateways, the legacy Policy Server daemon is turned off by default starting from:

- [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R82](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82/Default.htm) Take 41.
- [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.20](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.20/Default.htm) Take 115.

The daemon is not required and not supported. The daemon was responsible for:

- Sending Desktop Policy to Remote Access clients
- Sending SCV (Secure Configuration Verification) Policy
- Receiving logs from Remote Access clients

Other daemons have now taken over these functions. As a result, Remote Access operations do not involve the legacy Policy Server daemon. In earlier versions, the Policy Server daemon listened on TCP port 18231.
