+On Windows, install OpenVPN from the [official website](https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/).
+
+As there is no installer at the moment, you will need to download and extract the Windows release from the relevant Github release.
+
+Once the release is extracted, open Command Prompt *as Administrator*, and run vpngate.exe from the location where it was extracted.

+#### Proxy
+
+In some cases, anonymity is necessary to populate the list of available VPN servers.
+
+A proxy is a way to bypass restrictions and in some cases, internet censorship.
+
+##### HTTP/HTTPS
+
+Use the specified HTTP/HTTPS proxy to fetch the server list.
+
+```shell
+sudo vpngate connect --proxy "http://localhost:8080"

+##### SOCKS5
+
+Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy to fetch the server list.

+sudo vpngate connect --socks5 "127.0.0.1:1080"
