My question is quite simple, how do I import the wildcard certificate into openssl on the RP server? All the examples I've seen online assume that you're generating the CSR on the proxy server itself but I don't have that luxury unfortunately.

It does not matter where the files are generated. As long as they are
stored on the Squid box for Squid to access.

For Squid you do not have to install anything into OpenSSL, which is
just a library.
