I did not find any working clients for Linux that uses SSTP protocol, but for IKEv2 strongSwan provides a quite easily configurable and working solution.
To set up the VPN client I did the following:
1. Installed the strongswan-ikev2 package.
# apt-get install strongswan-ikev2
2. Configured the /etc/ipsec.conf file (changed the bold values):
# ipsec.conf - strongSwan IPsec configuration file
# basic configuration
config setup
charonstart=yes
plutostart=yes
# Add connections here.
conn %default
ikelifetime=60m
keylife=20m
rekeymargin=3m
keyingtries=1
keyexchange=ikev2
conn companyvpn
leftfirewall=yes
leftauth=eap
eap_identity=username
right=serverip
rightauth=pubkey
rightid="C=XX, ST=State, L=Location, O=Organization, OU=OrgUnit, CN=CommonName, E=email"
rightsubnet=192.168.1.0/24
auto=add
leftsourceip=%config
include /var/lib/strongswan/ipsec.conf.inc
3. Set up the password for the user name in the /etc/ipsec.secrets file:
username : EAP "password"
4. Put the certificate of the Certificate Authory into the /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/ directory to trust the certificates which was created by this CA:
# mv CA.cer /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/
5. Restart ipsec:
# /etc/init.d/ipsec restart
6. To run the VPN connection type:
# ipsec up companyvpn
7. Use the VPN connection.
8. To stop the VPN connection type:
# ipsec down companyvpn

I want to thank you for sharing this configuration to set up VPN client but in future if you ever want to go for some free VPN service, I will suggest you to go for hidemyass vpn review first. I also did the same and it actually helped me to get a VPN of my needs.
IKEv2 is a VPN protocol and it stands for Internet Key Exchange version 2 and it was developed by Microsoft in partnership with Cisco. The IKEv2 is a tunneling protocol and when you pair it with a suite for authentication such as IPSec then it becomes a true and very solid VPN protocol which is using in FastestVPN.
