Step-by-step guide

Press "Windows" + "R" on your keyboard. A pop up window will appear in the bottom left corner.
Type in "gpedit.msc".

Then click on- Computer Configuration - Policies - Administrative Templates - Network - Windows Connection Manager:
Click on "Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain" and choose the option of "enabled".
Close this window and try connecting to the VPN and accessing a web page.
