Could someone help me with a VPN issue?

I am using 4 seperate VPN services. I have set them up exactly as instructed by each service in OSX 10.10.3 network settings. And when I am not connected to a VPN my internet speed is working perfectly.

MOst of the time I can connect to a VPN but nothing downloads at all. I can't browse the internet and so forth.

And then there are times I can not connect to the VPN services at all.

My Mac Mini 2012 i7 16GB 1TB is connected to my Airport Time Capsule.

I have no idea what I can do to fix this issue.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue?

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 2012

VPN requires certain ports be open on System Preferences Sharing or Security, if someone is going to come in on a VPN.

You may need to open the same ports on the router's built-in settings or map your computer's intranet IP to the ports of the VPN on the router.

The router is your Time Capsule.
