Hi, newly registered here but I have been hanging around LEB and LET for a while, I have 4 vps's now including one from provisionhost in Toronto, what I am looking for is a good how to on installing Openvpn, it can be Ubuntu or Centos it doesn't matter. I have tried literally a dozen that I have found by searching the ole Google and not one has set up properly. If someone here has a tut on installation I would be extremely grateful. I really want to be able to stream some Canadian media
Thanks!

I followed this - http://sohonetwork.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/install-openvpn-ubuntu-vps-10-minutes.html
Pretty simple.
Half the time though I just tunnel through Putty ...
https://forum.ramhost.us/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=4 (it work 100% if you follow it carefully - tested, Debian / Ubuntu, login with authentication key)
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1024872 (CentOS, login with user account pw)
Or just use openvpn as. Its very easy to setup and use http://www.ruchirablog.com/install-openvpn-ubuntu/
Welcome to ServerCrate miniguides (.com):
apt-get upgrade
for access server: http://docs.openvpn.net/how-to-tutorialsguides/virtual-platforms/install-openvpn-access-server-on-linux-debian-6/ (runs best on at least 128mb of ram) (idles on 70mbish)
for regular: https://library.linode.com/networking/openvpn/debian-6-squeeze (community idles on 9mb of ram)
Thanks for all of the input, I will be giving it a go today.
I prefer centos
