I handled black ops 3 successfully. I turned off steam, connected via flyvpn from Australia, then opened it and everything functioned properly. After my preload loaded, I removed flyvpn after launching the game once. I repeated the process for borderlands TPS, which also worked fine.
You've successfully linked via your VPN's Auckland server, and Steam reports the Fallout 4 pre-load is loading.
