    Not true, in fact I would be willing to bet OP's case has nothing to do with virtual machines. A VPN client usually creates a TAP connection. In screenshot from my PC the TAP connection created by CyberGhost VPN, the one I use:

    Nothing to do with virtual machine connections.

    Some badly coded VPN clients leave the old ones and create a new whenever VPN connection is made. Simply select all TAP connections and delete them, your VPN client will be able to create a new one when needed.
