VPNHOST and VPNPORT is optional. The default VPNHOST is set to hk.windscribe.com and VPNPORT should probably be one of these UDP 443 (default), 80, 53, 1194, 54783.

VPNHOST is either an IP address or a hostname of Windscribe OpenVPN server, for example hk.windscribe.com or 69.161.195.131.

USERNAME / PASSWORD - Credentials to connect to Windscribe OpenVPN server, it's NOT the same as your Windscribe login credentials.

LOCAL_NETWORK - The CIDR mask of the local IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, 10.1.1.0/24) which will be acessing the proxy. This is so the response to a request can be returned to the client (i.e. your browser).
