Setting up VPN server on my Dedicated server [WINDOWS] - Releases - Aug 25, 2011

So I need a little help here.
Currently renting a Windows server 2008 Dedicated server, going to give some vpn logins away connected with this server.

Which software should I use to make this happen and which do you prefer?

I appreciate if somebody can put me in the right direction..

OpenVPN is a nice one, not much software needed to be installed. Or you can just do PPTP.

What do you prefer and what is the most stable Cerebro"?

OpenVPN in my opinion is most stable but, the software which needs to be installed on the clients PC is limited to Windows (as far as I know) Other programs are available for other OSs but its a bit of a hassle. Therefore as PPTP is built-in to almost every OS made, it would make it a lot easier, client side of course. However regulating it and bringing up statistics etc would be easier in OpenVPN. Its your choice.

Yeah I agree with Cerebo OpenVPN is stable and easy to use.
