You will probably need to use openVPN.

Installing VPN Client on Vultr or similar cloud server, Ubuntu 17.10
Installing VPN Client on Vultr or similar cloud server, Ubuntu 17.10 I need to establish a VPN connection from my Vultr server (similar to Amazon lightsail, azule) to a Microsoft server. All that i can find talks about using a gui to setup the VPN, on this server i only have a command line. Some of the things that i read said that VPN should be already available on the Ubuntu server. This is my production server so i don't want to mess things up by trial and error, does anyone of you had to do a similar setup before? Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the help,

Thanks for the answer. I have been working on this thing since i posted this a day ago. One of the problems is that the server i'm using only has command line, many of the tutorials and guides are for gui interfaces. I think the client side of openvpn is like that. Anyway, i followed this guide line https://www.jamescoyle.net/how-to/963-set-up-linux-pptp-client-from-the-terminal, and is working for the most part. I can connect to the pptp server, i can see this because i'm given a local ip address, but i cannot access the main server which runs ftp. Is like the rest of the network is hidden. I don't know if is a problem in my server with routing or the pptp server no giving me the access.

In case anyone cares, i found the problem was in the cloud server. The route add command that i had was wrong, was creating only a route to the client ip given by the server. Making an explicit route with the network mask 255.255.255.0 solve the problem. I good to walk around for a while.
