I ran into the same VPN bug that was reported in 4.3. This bug is very pesky. VPN connection works just fine and subsequent web access fails. It took me a couple of hours to trace it back to the kernel, after investigating the obvious suspects (routers, network connections etc.)
I am hoping the fix gets into 4.4-rc2 as well as 4.3.1
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/544307/
I tested the fix on 4.3 and 4.4-rc1 on my VPN setup
thanks, -- Shuah
