RStudio connects via HTTP to a local TCP port to a process called rsession. Very likely your VPN software is blocking that connection for security reasons; check it and add exclusions for the RStudio.exe and rsession.exe programs (you'll find both in the Program Files directory RStudio creates when it's installed).
