WARNING: I’m using mac OS Catalina, so I choose ‘None’ (NOT CERTIFICATE). But for mac OS Mojave (and older) CHOOSE CERTIFICATE). It’s a bug that causes an error (see below) if you don’t.

Select > Choose the CLIENT certificate you imported earlier, (Take note of the name in brackets, this is the common nameon the certificate). You will need this in a minute! > Continue > OK.

Put the Common Name from the certificate into the Local ID section > Apply > Connect.

Error: VPN Connection, ‘An unexpected error occurred’

Remember above when I said choose ‘None‘ for Catalina, NOT certificate? Well this is what happens if you choose certificate!
