Presumably because Evo holds open the TCP socket connection and when you start the VPN it all gets confused. I suppose the correct thing that Evo should do is listen for DBUS (or whatever) network events and drop and reform the connection when necessary. Rather than killing all the connections I find that clicking Evo offline then back on again works OK as that forces it to close all the connections.
