@hispeed So I tried this in my lab last night and could not get it working although it should.
To be honest, you're wasting your time. Just do a peer to peer with a /31 and be done with it.
But if you want to keep trying....
First, you do not need a CSO with only one client connecting. As I said, get rid of it. Not doing any good.
Second, with remote access as the type, you're basically creating a "road warrior" vpn. Typically meant for one client to connect to one site. It doesn't enable other clients on the remote network access to the vpn. That's why I say just do the peer to peer as it's meant to be used. But you can configure a remote access for the entire remote LAN, see here:

Again, I tried it, it's a waste of time when there's an option made explicitly for what you want.
The biggest problem with remote access is the config doesn't give you the option to set "Remote IPv4 Networks" and peer to peer does.
By the way, that error you're seeing has to do with the certificates. Did you create all certs on the server, then export the needed certs to the client, or did you create certs on server and create certs on client?
