actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Do you want the Ubuntu system to act as a VPN endpoint for the clients
to connect to, or just to allow clients o connect through the system to
some VPN endpoint (system acting like a router)? You can run VPN
endpoint software on Ubuntu and allow users to connect with userame and
password or even security key files.

You don't really need much to access the server, you can use SSH and
interface that way. It is very uncommon for a server to run a gui (for
security as well as reduce resources used) so SSH and web interfaces are
extremely common. This is why the server edition of Ubuntu does not come
with an X server and simply boots to a command line interface.

Here is the documentation on VPN:
