Not sure where the best place was for this, but I have just put it up as a blog post and thought some people may appreciate it in here:
Okay, here we go with a quick post on how to make your own VPN in less than a minute. Yes, you read that right, in less than a minute you can have a fully functioning VPN on your own server.
So, what do you need before you start, well the list is short ? just get yourself a server that has Debian installed.
Anyway, back to the how-to.
Once you have your VPS set up with Debian, you simply need to run a script (written by Nyr over at Lowendtalk) by logging into your server via SSH and typing:
wget http://git.io/vpn --no-check-certificate -O openvpn-install.sh; chmod +x openvpn-install.sh; ./openvpn-install.sh
Just follow the setup questions and you will have your VPN set up within seconds.
If you want to add another user, simply run the openvpn-install.sh script again.

If you want a server that you can pay for hourly, a highly recommended host is Digital Ocean. If you use my affiliate link to sign up with (below), Digital Ocean will also give you $10 of free credit to test their services across their multiple locations (New York, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Singapore and London). If you top up $25 I will get some credits as well (just being upfront!)
