PPTP is the easiest option you have, but you need to have a fully virtualised server for that (XEN, or VMware). Else your left with OpenVPN which can be very annoying to configure. If your alone you'd want to use the simplest setup: password. If you want multiple client you must use certificates which can be hard to setup.

Google a bit, there are some nice guides out there, but they all very by OS...

Is that possible to setup PPTP VPN on VServer (Linux-vserver) platform?

justice90, Only if your VPS is a XEN or another full visualization. It won't work with a OpenVZ VPS...

CuraHack, thank for the respond.
VServer is not equal to OpenVZ but I don't know about the virtualization type of VServer.
