   You have a proxy server setting enabled in your browser.  When the VPN   
   connection is working you can connect to the proxy server and your web   
   traffic works because the proxy server is accessable.   
      
   Go to Tools->Options.  Connections tab, Click on Lan Settings.  You can   
   disable and enable your proxy server setting from here.  You may require   
   it to be on when you are connected to the VPN.
