Wouldn’t it make more sense to ask the customer service department of the company you bought from how to resolve this question? There are many different kinds of VPN’s you provide no details. Making it impossible to answer your question.
The problem with a VPN is that secure web sites don’t like them very much because they are slowed down by the VPN. There is no web acceleration from those pages and the lag time is huge. That plus they don’t work well with Mac computers.
