Make sure that your laptop's subnet differs from the subnet of your home
network.

When you launch a VPN then you automatically get a second "adapter" which is
basically a dial-up adapter. This adapter will get the same subnet address
as the subnet address of the target. To make things work, you must give your
physical NIC a different subnet address.
