My personal favorite Quick and Easy "VPN" solution is just use SSH as a socks proxy. On linux you just do "ssh user@host -D 8080" then set your browser to use your new socks proxy on localhost, port 8080. Would be a similar process on Windows with PuTTY.
Of course, thats not an actual VPN, it only works for your browser. If you want a true VPN, I've heard good things abount tinc, but I've never used it.
I like this one

OpenVPN Access Server is not going to fit on a 32MB VPS.
Just install openvpn. It's fast, uses TUN which is available almost everywhere, consumes not much RAM (don't forget about ulimit -s 1024 on OpenVZ!) and I like it. I have commercial OpenVPN service and it works nice.
Maybe a SSH tunnel will works for you. And no need for additional setup.
It works with any software that can use SOCKS proxies.
A setup that would provide only HTTP proxy would be squid or something similar.

I might also be using it for mobile so tunneling with ssh is already out of the option.
I tried this guide:
