I've done it once with OpenVPN. It's wasn't a total pain but I definitely had some issues.

OpenVPN can get pretty complicated if you've never done it before. Try following this guide here.

-Which OS to put on VDS
-Step 4 (Company infomation)
-Building certificates and keys

-Which OS to put on VDS
The guide I linked is for Windows, I'm assuming you're using Windows, is this not the case?
-Step 4 (Company infomation)
This can be anything you wish, the information isn't entirely important.
-Building certificates and keys
There are a few steps to that part, where are you stuck?
