When L2TP login fails, revert to non-login connection, how ?

Hi,
I have Rax40v2 router.
My internet connection doesn't need login. However, I need the router to
always connect to an external L2TP vpn account, so I changed the internet connection type to L2TP (please refer to the attached screenshot).
Now the problem is, when the L2TP VPN server goes down, the internet connection also goes away.
Can I make the router automatically revert back to the main internet connection (that doesn't require login) everytime the VPN server is down?

Regards

You can't. 

You have it set for the internet connection to come from your VPN directly. 

It doesn't have a failover option with that router. 

Its the downfall of setting up going through a vpn that route.
