This is very unlikely to be a problem in Subversion.
I don't think you'll be able to solve this by looking at Subversion.

Subversion does not know what is happening on the network layer.
It just opens a socket, and writes to it and reads from it.
It cannot tell the difference between an Ethernet, and ADSL connection,
a dial-up link, or a VPN (be it pptp-based or ipsec or openvpn or
whatever).

You need to consult your server logs to see what might be going wrong.
tcpdump and similar network diagnosing tools may also help.
Also sanity check any firewalls that the connection from the client
to the server is traversing, outside and inside the VPN tunnel.
