I am looking for a good recent and clear tutorial to install OpenVPN
on my VPS (ubuntu) and use it on multiple clients. I would appreciate
suggestions cozl I only found either some ready bash scripts or very
exigent methods requiring more than one VPS.

Instead of setting up OpenVPN I'd recommend to consider using
Wireguard or Tailscale if you don't want to bother with managing
configs.

I would go with WireGuard myself. I use WireGuard in production and
it's great.

I prefer Wireguard but if you want to host OpenVPN, I suggest this
one;

Use https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn
Works on Ubuntu and doesn’t have to be a Pi. Use it with Wireguard

Can't thank you enough for your suggestion. I heard before about these
services but never bothered to dig more into it. I took your advice
and tried Wireguard, didn't work well with me and had some issues on
my vps, then tried Tailscale, and man... what a discovery, it's
literally a magic. It's now up and running like a charm and all of
that in some countable mouse clicks.
