      Help me to understand what I did wrong.
      Why would certificate be unsupported?

      Also, under configuration "IPv4 Tunnel Network" do I put local subnet of the client I am trying to connect from?

        "unsupported certificate purpose" usually means the certificate chosen for your server was not generated as a server certificate, but as a user certificate. You may need to make a new server certificate.

        IPv4 Tunnel network is a unique, unused network only for the VPN clients.

        Your local network you want them to reach goes in IPv4 Local Network

          It worked, and you were right it was a user's cert and not the server.

          Thank you!
