You may find that your ‘via VPN’ rule is being bypassed when it sees the VPN’s gateway as being offline. AFAIK this is expected behaviour. Check the setting of System -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous -> Skip rules when gateway is down. From the description: “By default, when a rule has a specific gateway set, and this gateway is down, rule is created and traffic is sent to default gateway.This option overrides that behavior and the rule is not created when gateway is down" Toggling this might achieve what you’re after.
