Setting up OpenVPN Client for use with Windscribe

I have recently subscribed to Windscribe VPN service. I would like to setup my router to use it as an OpenVPN client. When I attempt to configure it, apparently a client certificate and a client key is required. I attempted to use OpenVPN's How-To section to generate the certificate/key combo, but am hitting a brick wall in the Windows10 version of OpenVPN. It keeps telling me that openssl-1.0.0.cnf cannot be found, but it exists in the C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa dir. So, that doesn't appear to work. Further, Windscribe support says they don't support Gargoyle, but I can't see why it wouldn't work, as Windscribe works with OpenVPN. Any insights on how to easily create this client certificate/key combo required for Gargoyle? I have already successfully created the CA and TLS keys from the Windscribe site, but as mentioned the client certificate/key are eluding me.

Thanks.

There is no support for VPN service providers via the Gargoyle GUI.

Command line work arounds exist.
