For use on a VPS with an external IP, I've had success with this https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install

For use to connect to home network drives, I've used ZeroTier https://www.zerotier.com/. I've never had an external IP for home internet, so I always ran in headaches trying to do a home VPN to channel my internet traffic while I'm out and about (and that's why I use a VPN on a VPS for that).

Seconding this recommendation - I've used Nyr's script to deploy OpenVPN a couple of times and it's worked well.

I can also recommend OpenVPN's virtual appliances: https://openvpn.net/virtual-appliances/ They work out-of-the-box and come with a web UI for configuration, if that's your thing.

That said, I've moved on to Wireguard lately and will be unlikely to use OpenVPN for personal VPN networks in the future.
