You cannot connect to a VPN unless you are connected to some other network, like a wired or wireless one. In your video I see this is the case, you are not connected to any other network.

Before the change:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug enp33s0
iface enp33s0 inet dhcp

After change:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
