The answer is here: How can you add a Certificate to WebClient (C#)?

Converted to VB (untested):

Public Class MyWebClient
    Inherits WebClient

    Protected Overrides Function GetWebRequest(ByVal address As System.Uri) As System.Net.WebRequest
        Dim R = MyBase.GetWebRequest(address)
        If TypeOf R Is HttpWebRequest Then
            With DirectCast(R, HttpWebRequest)
                .ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate())
            End With
        End If
        Return R
    End Function
End Class
