Well, depends. If the user go to a captive portal to "authenticate" before the VPN could closes, than no. But, if the VPN can "pierce" through it (without any intervention from the AP), than yes. Anyways, If the user is willing to provide authentication data (like social media accounts, etc), nothing matters.
