Help setting up Windows OpenVPN server, please :)

[JBOpenVPNJB]

Hi, I am brand new to OpenVPN and please let me know if I should be in a different forum.

I want to setup an OpenVPN server with a remote Virtual Machine that I buy from a provider and then I want to route all my traffic through the server from home.

What is the best/easiest way to setup an OpenVPN server? Is there a GUI that can easily configure a server for me? I can purchase the VM in Windows Server 2003/08 or any version of Linux. I am trying to get this setup one step at a time, but I would like some advice on the minimum requirements for a server of this nature and if those requirements are any different on Windows Server vs. Linux. I find windows more intuitive as I am unfamiliar with Linux and I will also have remote desktop access with Windows, so if all else is equal I will probably go with Windows.

My main fear at this point is trying to configure a server and I am hoping there is a GUI for this purpose somewhere in the world! Thanks so much in advance for any help you can offer!

edit: I have been looking at the OpenVPN Access Server on this site but I can't seem to find if this will help with initial configuration or if it is just to maintain.
