VPN (pptp) is built-into Android 4.x.
Or perhaps you're trying to use an all-in-one "VPN Service" app?
I don't trust those. Dunno why, but I don't.
I just use a non-app VPN service, and enter the login credentials into the Android VPN manager.

Yeah, I'm using the built in VPN.
Tasker however doesn't support VPN connected/disconnected events or starting/stopping the VPN.
There was a plugin for tasker which added support (apprently) and I saw scripts that seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but this plugin is not compatible with 4.X and doesn't appear to have updated for the best part of a year.
Argh!
This behaviour that I want seems *so* logical to me!
Close....
