I can't install 3proxy, privoxy and OpenVPN on OpenVZ VPS, what other ways can I configure it as a proxy or VPN?

Question

VPN

I rented a VPS for a small amount for web surfing on blocked resources here: https://mrvm.net/natvps/ (far left). I thought that it would only work for web surfing, besides, it directly states that such a server can be used for VPN.

I tried to install a proxy, VPN on this VPS - so far everything has been unsuccessful due to various errors:

3proxy:

privoxy:

When installing OpenVPN, I had to disable certificate verification - I got an error:

Installing OpenVPN without checking certificates started, but ended again with errors, for example, some of them:

Err http://ftp.debian.org wheezy/main i386 Packages                  
  404  Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:2564:a119::148:12 80]

It also failed to create and configure swap, this is prohibited in the kernel. I read reviews for this hosting: hosting101.ru/mrvm.net - everything worked well for one person, what other ways can I create a proxy or VPN on this server? So far I have found a guide using PPPTP: https://anikin.pw/all/ustanovka-pptp-vpn-servera-n... , but have not yet tested it in operation.
In the VPS settings, I turned on everything that was disabled, including TuN / TaP, I read that it is needed for VPN.

I already realized that everything would be easier and better on a more expensive VPS without OpenVZ, but before looking for another server, I would like to try to configure the current one.

Answer 1

Why complicate things so much. Read up on dynamic SSH tunneling and add a foxy proxy add-on to your browser. And you don't need to put anything on your vps at all. Just Putty and a browser add-on.

Answer 2

apt update; apt upgradedo.

Answer 3

To prevent wget from checking the certificate, use the switch - --no-check-certificate.
When installing openvpn, are you using debian7 by any chance? If it is, then you don’t need to use outdated axes, put something newer, since deb7 turnips are already disabled.
