What is the lightest Linux distribution for a VPN server to choose?

Question

linux

Due to the fact that it was not possible to raise a stable PPTP server using the built-in Windows tools, and there is no third-party software for this purpose, I decided to make a VPN server based on a Linux virtual machine, but I need some kind of super -light distribution, it is desirable that it fits in 128-256 megabytes of RAM, because the host itself does not shine with its quantity. Only 1-2 people will connect, the load on the network will be scanty, so high performance is not needed, only stability and lightness. I will also need Zerotier, but it seems to fit anywhere anyway. Tell me, please, there are a lot of all sorts of distributions, it's unrealistically long to figure it out yourself.

Answer 1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux

The base system in Alpine Linux is designed to be only 4–5 MB in size (excluding the kernel).[citation needed] This allows very small Linux containers, around 8 MB in size, while a minimal installation to disk might be around 130 MB.

Answer 2

Debian netinst without graphics weighs and eats very little.

Answer 3

If a VPN is all you need, get RouterOS under x86 from torrent trackers.

Answer 4

Try solutions out of the box PFSense Community Version, OPSense (there is Russian localization). Both on BSD
