I want to configure a VPN from my Nexus S (2.3.4) to my home Ubuntu desktop.

Has anyone tried this yet?

I would deeply appreciate tips on which VPN server to use (e.g., is openVPN support native on Android Gingerbread?) and pitfalls to avoid.

The way I did it was to install dd-wrt on my home router and enable PPTP VPN. Then I just put in the user name and password in the VPN settings in Gingerbread.

OpenVPN would seem to be another good solution if you cannot install dd-wrt on your router. There is a client app for it (http://www.appbrain.com/app/openvpn-settings/de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn) but you need to have rooted your phone to use it.
