    I have found that setting up a VPN using PPTP is very challenging. If you want to do it with a VPS, you probably should look around for VPS's that provide you with pre-installed VPN on the server image. I think there is one on GoGrid. Some of these "cloud" services are pretty good at preconfiguring your server so you don't have to waste a lot of time installing packages and configuring them.
    OpenVPN is really very simple to install and configure even for a server, but some countries block its ports. You could run OpenVPN over a common port. I have heard that Iran only allows PPTP VPNs and not OpenVPN, but that's just a rumor.
