There are several things going on here (most likely):
1) The website is giving you "bad credentials" because you are logging in from an IP address different from the last one used successfully to log in with the game. This restriction is in place to help block hacking attacks. Don't worry about the "Bad Credentials" message; you'll need to log in on the game first then the website login will work.
2) You might think you are applying a VPN to the game, but I'll bet you are not. Many VPN packages only apply the VPN to web traffic, not all traffic. So most likely your game is trying to go through the great firewall of china, which would be blocking that traffic.
I personally use Astrill VPN, and it has several modes. With Astrill, the mode to use is called "Stealth VPN" which makes all traffic of your computer go through the VPN. But if you aren't using Astrill currently, you probably will not be able to download it as they do not allow downloads from China, nor from other VPN providers.
So that's one thing to check at least, that your VPN settings are sending ALL traffic through the VPN, not just web traffic.
