Is there any way to bypass this message without rooting my device?

Thanks in advance.

No, and even a rooted device is likely to say the same. This is Android's security framework kicking in. Because a VPN intercepts all network traffic, this potentially impacts all apps on your device, not just this one. Hence the need to explicitly gain approval from the user.
