Since Checkpoint Company does not have a VPN client for Linux (checkpoint VPN SNX R71 is not fit for us because this VPN required changes on the gateway side ).
I'm trying to find if there is a VPN client (open source) or other VPN that can be installed on Linux machines and can connect to our Checkpoint gateway.
The following diagram described what we want (we need to install VPN clients on Linux machines (My Linux machine), so by that using this VPN client we can connect (via SSH)to the target Linux machine.
My Linux machine –> fire wall (checkpoint NGR75) –> Checkpoint gateway (FW) –> target Linux machine
Please advice what are some alternatives?

If you go to the CheckPoint website there's this page titled: Remote Access (VPN) Clients which contains a list of appropriate VPN clients you can use with their products.
