    OpenVPN works great and the setup is fairly straight forward. You only need a tiny VPS (64MB RAM) to run OpenVPN so its also a cheap solution.

    I agree, OpenVPN is light weight and does a good job. It will work on any KVM or Xen VPS. It can also run on OpenVZ, but the provider must enable a couple of options. Most do but if you are looking at OpenVZ make sure and check first.

    You can use a VPS to run OpenVPN, make sure that the TUN/TAP modules are enabled on the Linux VPS.

    I have bought a VPS at rackspace and installed pptpd on it.
    OpenVPN is too heavy and rquers a special client for windows.
    I would like to sell vpn accounts on the server.
    Did anyone doing something like it?
    I'm thinking about purchasing a European VPS for that sort of thing, any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Ok, slicehost is a rackspace company. But when i said vps, i referring to "normal" and Typical vps that we see on other companies and not a complex slice system..

    It's not complex at all, it is just a Xen VPS.

    Slicehost is a typical VPS or virtual server. Its Xen.

    You can do on it anything you would on a normal server, that means install cPanel, Windows, Linux, etc. Actually Xen and VmWare are real VPS. Virtuozzo/OpenVz is just a OS splitting, more like a shared server.

    Yes. You can have anything on it that would work on a real physical server. Xen is bare metal virtualization, that means it works directly over the hardware without middle mans. If you don't consider the hypervisor a middle man as its just a few lines of code.

    Its RackSpace Cloud Server.
    Actually a ptretty decent VPS. I should probably say VM.
    Its a XEN based machine.

    VpnCheap:
    Good to know I'm not crazy Where do you host?
    Whats your website?
    How long did it take you to get to 50 clients?

    Thanks.
