    Hi @supportIconSA

    As @PeterUK mentioned, it is currently not supported to import an externally purchased certificate for SSL VPN on the USG FLEX H firewall. The SSL VPN configuration includes default certificates generated by the device, which consist of three components: (1) Server CA, (2) Client CA, and (3) Private Key. These certificates are automatically generated by the device and can be used directly to create an OpenVPN connection.
