This has nothing to do with security but with accessing shares on the network. Apparently you're accessing shares which are only available when the VPN is up and this *somehow* results in some internal problem. Unfortunately you're only giving very basic information. Please have a look into http://cygwin.com/problems.html and follow the guidelines for reporting problems. Especially add some clue how shares come into play. Any share you're accessing always in, say, your .bashrc? Yes? No? How?
