I've been using StrongVPN, a similar service, with great success.

I run OpenVPN via Linode for $20/month. I've got about 5 friends on it so we just split the costs.

I started out using OpenVPN as well. However, the speed and latency was always very bad even though my VPS connection is fast.

After spending too much time trying to figure it out, I decided to just spend just $55/year and use StrongVPN. Added bonus, I can use StrongVPN on my iPad/iPhone!

StrongVPN looks pretty good. Also easier to support other VPN connections out of the box (i.e. through Win standard VPN and not have to install OpenVPN, as well as via iPhone). Thanks for the suggestion.
