So you could simply limit access to the share where wpkg.js is stored
for road warriors. Thus automatically preventing WPKG to execute wpkg.js
from that share when not within the local network.

If you cannot, don't know how or just don't want to do that you might
use a pre-execution script (see WPKG client configuration). Such a
script could check (by IP for example) if the machine is within the
local network and then either return a non-zero exit status (check
failed) or exit status 0 (when the client is actually internal). Any
non-zero exit status will prevent WPKG client to continue executing wpkg.js.
