Are you connecting to this VM via the network (e.g. ssh) or via a
"real" serial console? Since it's a VM, my money's on the former. It's
likely that your routing configuration for the VPN is causing it to
overwrite the network route by which you connected to the server. Sort
of like using an electric chainsaw to cut its own power cord.

Things to try:

1) Connect via the "virtual serial console" (every decent VM provider
offers this) and confirm that the system doesn't really hang… just
kills all the routes.

2) Try vpn-slice as a replacement for the default vpnc-script
(disclaimer: written by me), which allows you to pick-and-choose which
parts of the routing configuration provided by the VPN gateway to keep
or ignore: https://github.com/dlenski/vpn-slice

3) Post a log of `openconnect -vvvv` with as much detail as you can
(may need obfuscation of server details and credentials).
