Best VPN for a Gentoo router with no GUI

Basically what the title says. Looking to implement a VPN in the next couple of months. I tried one, but every time I would start the service I would have to enable ssh to use a browser on another computer to login. Is there a VPN where I can use openvpn as a client without having to switch to a computer with a GUI and copy/paste into an xterm?

Are you looking for a technology to deploy on your own infrastructure, or for a 3rd party service provider?
And what is your primary objective, because a privacy vpn is not necessarily the best option for connecting company's branches to the headquarters.

OpenVPN can be used without any GUI or user interaction.
The trick is to use keys/certificates for authentication and create a key without a password.
