Hi guys.

I am going to build a Linux VPN server(PPTP) for my friend but here is the problem:
He don't know Linux and command line to manage users, monitor server, etc

I have the perfect guide for you - You can install Webmin on your server and make a lot of configurations over it.

Debending on if your Linux distro is RHEL based or Debain based use:

Run as root:
#su --
RHEL= yum install pptpd
Debain = apt-get install pptpd

/etc/pptpd.conf

Code:
 local ip :   [my VPS ip] 
 remote ip :  192.168.0.100-120

/etc/ppp/pptpd-options
Code:
 refuse-pap 
 refuse-chap 
 refuse-mschap 
 require-mschap-v2 
 require-mppe-128 
 ms-dns 208.67.222.222 
 ms-dns 208.67.220.220

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
Code:
   user1 * password1 * 
   user2 * password2 *

/etc/sysctl.conf
Code:
  net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

IPTables rules:
Code:
   iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp+ -o eth0 -j ACCEPT 
   iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp+ -j ACCEPT 
   iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE 
   iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT 
   iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p gre -j ACCEPT
