I’m wondering if it is possible to use DigitalOcean to set up a VPN that will allow me to watch Amazon Prime instant videos from outside of the US on either an ipad, a windows laptop, or both. If so is there a guide? I saw the setting up VPN through PPTP but I wasn’t sure how that would work on my side (windows laptop/ipad)

for future referance anyone wanting to install openvpn on ubuntu can follow: <br>http://geeksandtweaks.com/wp/how-to-create-a-vpn-server-on-ubuntu-12-04/ <br> <br>it takes you there all the step including setting up keys and etc
I recommend going with OpenVPN instead of PPTP: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-debian-6”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-debian-6</a>.
Thanks, I did this guide but it only gets me about halfway there. Then it just says “You should modify the client configuration file to match what you’d like it to do.” and dumps me into several very long files to edit with no instructions. Can you give additional help?
