Hi, i am in the same position as you but in a corporate production environment.
We have over 5000 production and UAT servers and cannot access a single one of them after installing on a Server 2019 production server.
I hope someone can answer both our questions.

        generaal-ericwhen you created the certificate did you install it in the correct place on your server for the type of certificate? i.e ours are in "Personal > certificates" and if issued to a full domain you need to make sure you access gateway using the full FQDN. also a certificate wont work if you are using a direct IP unless you have specified this in the SSL certificate on creation. 

         

        Also did you update WAC with the new thumbprint of your certificate or did you install initially using that certificate?
