Finding a Vpn would be very difficult,no one seems to have succeeded at it yet.
If you are in Tahiti for a few days before moving on to the other islands I suppose you could hold off on booking flights until you are in Fp, but could be a gamble, your preferred dates/times of flights may be sold out etc
