We, the community forum, do not provide support for vpnbook.
Please contact vpnbook.

Tell them,

Before posting the question, I have gone through this link and when I could not solve the issue, I wrote here, as I guess most new users always do some Google, documentations and those number of tries which he/she can and after failure of all attempts, then only they write in the forum.

If you can provide me the solution in my environment then I will use Openvpn, else, no issue. I will use some other free vpn, if I could.
