I'm going to be vague since I can't find what I'm looking for, but. I recall
that there
is a process which, if enabled, will periodically connect to a fedoraproject server to
verify it is connected to the internet.
I'm guessing you have that running and when on the VPN those checks are being
blocked.
Sorry, I can't be more specific but I recall either disabling or erasing the package
that
provided that.
The package I was thinking of is....
