Download: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bedefaced/vpn-install.git
And then some of (under root or using sudo):
vpn-install/pptp/install.shvpn-install/openvpn/install.shvpn-install/ipsec/install.sh
These "wizards" will install required packages, generate necessary config files, update network configurations (to enable routing), add iptables rules, add cron jobs (for restarting servers, restoring iptables rules after reboot).
You will be answered for login-passwords of VPN users, some network information, preferred DNS-resolvers, client-to-client routing possibility.
Only MS-CHAP v2 with MPPE-128 encryption is allowed.
Note that PPTP is NOT recommended for transmission secret data, because all strong PPTP authentication algorithms have been already hacked: see link for more information.
By default (see pptpd.conf.dist and env.sh) it uses 172.16.0.0/24 subnet.

On Linux:
During VPN server installation (more precisely: during adding user procedure) it will generate client-side setup.sh script in %username% directory. Client-side setup script was tested on Ubuntu 16.04.
You can also use Ubuntu standard Network Manager for PPTP VPN connection.
On Windows:
Create new VPN-connection using standart 'Set up a new connection or network' wizard, select PPTP VPN and provide host, login and password information. In the 'Security' tab of created connection check only MS-CHAP v2 protocol.
IPsec over L2TP VPN server with pre-shared key.
Only MS-CHAP v2 is allowed on L2TP.
IPsec implementation: strongSwan.
L2TP implementation: xl2tpd.
By default (see xl2tpd.conf.dist and env.sh) it uses 172.18.0.0/24 subnet.
IKE encryption algorithms: see ipsec.conf.dist.

On Linux:
During VPN server installation (more precisely: during adding user procedure) it will generate client-side setup.sh script in %username% directory with necessary config files and connect.sh and disconnect.sh scripts. Client-side scripts was tested on Ubuntu 16.04.
You can also use Ubuntu standard Network Manager for IPsec VPN connection if you install network-manager-l2tp plugin.
On Windows:
Create new VPN-connection using standart 'Set up a new connection or network' wizard, select 'L2TP/IPsec with pre-shared key', provide host, login and password information.
In the 'Security' tab of created connection check only MS-CHAP v2 protocol, then enter to 'Advanced settings' and enter your pre-shared key.
Server and client certificates and TLS auth are used for authentication (generating using Easy-RSA package, see adduser.sh and install.sh).

On Linux:
During VPN server installation (more precisely: during adding user procedure) it will generate client-side configs in %username% directory.
Then simply:
apt-get install openvpn
openvpn --config config.ovpn
You can also use Ubuntu standard Network Manager for OpenVPN connection if you install network-manager-openvpn-gnome plugin.
On Windows:
Download OpenVPV GUI client: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html.
Import config and connect, or run explorer context menu command.
During installation script will backup config files which are in system and will create uninstall script. So use some of (under root or using sudo):
vpn-install/pptp/uninstall/uninstall.shvpn-install/openvpn/uninstall/uninstall.shvpn-install/ipsec/uninstall/uninstall.sh
These "wizards" will uninstall installed packages, restore system config files (which was before installation), remove added iptables rules and cron jobs.
