VPN not working after certificate expire and renew - Essentials 2016

So long story short I let my wildcard third party SSL certificate expire. VPN obviously stopped working so everyone was barking. I reordered the same cert from the company, creating a new request etc. I imported and all went well. I rebooted the server quite a few times, uninstalled and reinstalled recent updates but the VPN is not working. I have 443 ports open on my network (unifi usg router). I can access the https://remote.domainname.com/remote. The VPN will just not connect through windows. I have the subdomain rerouted to the external IP and it resolves fine. I have also tried the external IP in the windows config. I just hangs and does not connect. 

Any help or step in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Do this:

    1. Export the new certificate and make sure you have the private key and export to pfx file,
    2. Run the Access Anywhere wizard and release the domain,
    3. Run the Access Anywhere wizard again and import the new certificate and check VPN and Access Anywhere
    Now it should work.

    Sorry for the delay. I went through the steps and performed a reboot but I still cannot connect to it. I have the VPN on Windows set up with MSchap and Automatic. It was working days before i let the cert expire. Any other ideas?

     

    All help is greatly appreciated. I also continue to read through the threads for any other information I can find.
