    A setup script and simple web UI for setting up an OpenVPN Server

    Say I want to setup a VPN between 5 computers. I would need one server that "hosts" the VPN and configuration files for each of the 5 computers. The purpose of the VPN is purely to allow the 5 computers to securely communicate. It does not provide routing to the internet via the VPN. I could probably use something like https://github.com/theonemule/simple-openvpn-server on the cheapest VPS I could find and it would have no problems.
