Use Password Protected Form without the use of wp-login.php

A couple of things you could try

  1. Use a plugin like Rename wp-login.php and change what the VPN points to from wp-login.php to whatever you rename it

  2. Use plugin to handle the post password protection. I haven’t tried any, but there should be one out there that works without relying on wp-login.php. A few that came up when searching are Password Protect Page and Passster. The native way post passwords works is pretty rubbish so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change it
