I have read Windows SSTP VPN - connect from Mac but the instructions are too terse for me.
PPTP VPNs no longer supported by Apple’s built-in VPN client on macOS Sierra and iOS 10 June 25, 2016 rtrouton Leave a comment Go to comments Starting in OS X El Capitan and iOS 9, people trying to set up a PPTP VPN connection on their iOS device or on their Mac would get a warning that looked like this.

I want to connect to a VPN using SSTP and a certificate. I've installed the certificate in Keychain using the instructions for How to Import and Export SSL Certificates in Mac 10.7, although I'm using Mac OS X 10.11.6 the instructions seem fine.
I've installed sstp-client but I can't get it to run (see Edit below). I used the commend line:
inserting appropriate values for <user>, <password> and <server>. The username is domainuserID which I enclosed in double quotes due to the backslash, and the server included the port number (like foo.bar.net:443) so I put that in double quotes too.

Despite hundreds of rumors being spread on the internet, SSTP is only supported.
I'm asked for a password, then get an error message:

I've asked a question that links to here: Connect to SSTP VPN using MAC OS X. – RobG Jul 24 '17 at 6:51 Looks like it's only one working way to connect last version mac os to SSTP VPN. Jul 23, 2014 Pretty sure OS X will need a third party client to make this work. There seems to be few SSTP clients out there for the Mac so you'll just need to give each of them a try to see which is best. Pretty sure OS X will need a third party client to make this work.

where 'userfoo' is my username.
Trying in iSstp, I've filled in all the details as for the commend line, the command options are the default:
then selecting Connect runs for a few seconds then returns 'Not Connected!'.
I've also tried looking through https://www.axot.org/2015/03/03/isstp-a-sstp-client-for-mac-osx/ but no success there either.
Can anyone help me out with a suitable command line or iSstp setup?
Edit
One issue was that there was one too many 'sstp' in the command, it should have been:
While that get's the command to run, I'm then asked for my password and the terminal never returns. Similarly in iSSTP, which attempts to connect for a few seconds, then times out.
Reading the manual for SSTPC, I turned on logging and got to:
So seems to be a certificate issue. What is '(-2)'?

Please try to change the username in iSstp to DomainUsername, use two backslash.
If it is still not connected, try to run the command line using sstpc from homebrew you installed, i.e. use '/usr/local/sbin/sstpc' instead of '/usr/local/sbin/sstpc/sstpc' in you original command line.
If command line works (it should work), then you can replace the sstpc file in iSstp package with the sstpc from homebrew, change the destination directory to where your iSstp.app located.
Now you can try iSstp again, it will work too.
If iSstp still doesn't work, please report herehttps://github.com/axot/isstp/issues
