How to set up a working VPN?

I am currently in a country where I can't access some social sites like meetme.com and other sites. Since I am totally new to Ubuntu I don't know how to setup a vpn.
I searched a lot in software-center but I couldn't find any vpn software. And I don't know which vpn to use. I tried using hotspot shield(.exe) with wine but it doesn't work and it opens in the bottom right corner a white windowthis is it

The most common solution is openvpn. You have some information in the Ubuntu web.

First off: Are you sure you really need a VPN? I mean you can use a "cgi proxy" to view most sites even if they are somehow blocked normally; or even better if you have another box online with an sshd you can tunnel your internet connection through that (I generally prefer this method).

Second: By VPN do you mean a VPN server / a VPN client / an open VPN network to connect to? In the first and second cases look through the software center, in the third case look into Tor.
