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.
