Because usually when VPN connections are requested it is done thru port 80, the NTL Transparent caches grab everything on Port 80 and Proxy it, the Proxies which are just meant to handle web requests and web pages will not know what to do with this request and discard/scramble it. If it does manage to pass it on, the destination computer might not realise that the connection has been proxied and send an request for identification or whatever to the proxy
