You don't want to "double up" a VPN — if its running on your networking device, it shouldn't be running on your laptop, and vice-versa. This means that a laptop running a VPN should disable it before connecting to an access point (whether Wi-Fi or ethernet) configured with a "VPN Kill Switch", or alternatively, connect to a non-VPN access point.
