Wtd: Xtra lowend UK VPS for private VPN/Proxy only!
Maybe a tall order but here goes:
For geolocation purposes DC in Cheltenham or Maidenhead. LES offers NCL only!
Minimal spec for above purpose only and lowish bandwidth to drive cost down further.
Private whitelisted ipv4 a must.
Preferably with a secured and pre-installed openVPN - might be pushing a bit hard here ;-)
No Paypal - direct debit preferred.
Thanks for your consideration/recommendations!!

...shameless bump...and personal reminder...post when UK wakes up in the morning...not when they're asleep at night...geographical time difference reasons only...
@Jack comes to mind but you'd read rather use the search function to find similar request.
This for example : http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/398112/
httpzoom have 64MB plans in stock constantly, dotvps did do some limited 32MB's but they sold out some time ago.
@Jack
You got the URLs of 64 and 96 wrong.
Also, do they have any swap/vswap?
$8 dollars a year that's cheap.. wonder if openvpn-as would run on that
Nope, no way you'll get openvpn-as running in 32MB. Even idle on a heavily minified VPS it'll use about 40MB; I managed to get it running for a single user in 64GB before, but it was tighter than a gnat's chuff. Plain ol' openvpn would probably be OK tho.
A debian with minimal template from the OpenVZ template, would just use about 5MB. But it just for running ssh
Leaving just 27MB for OpenVPN-AS; I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but I don't believe you can squeeze it into 27MB even idle.
I am testing softether in an ipxcore VPS with 32mb and it seems it is working fine
PPTP will work for you on 32 Mb box.
Using this magical script need only 1-2 minutes for setup:

PPTP has major security flaws, stick with OpenVPN.
"Not Found"
Personally i prefer this one http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_PPTP_on_CentOS_5
OpenVPN is much more secure and faster too.
What exactly? Works fine for me... )
Secure and faster... Yes I know, but really not always it matters.
So tempting
Thinking about adding another true LEB to the cluster of 32-96Mb vps's 
Is that just a plain install? Which OS did you use? I just tried an install on a completely stripped down Debian 7 64bit and I'm still running at 102MB!
the actual link gives me a 404 Not Found.
So it seems from the comments gratefully received that 32mb would be sufficient for running either openvpn or softether.
Cheers!
That's interesting; I have a 64MB VPS with HTTPZoom, and instantly the RAM usage goes to 100, so since there's some burst there, it's eating into it and instantly makes me into a noisy neighbour. Sounds like it'd be better if there was no burst at all...
Thanks for all the advice!!
Why not using OpenVPN non AS?
Because people like the feeling to have access to a shell but are in fear of the console, nonetheless.
