 * Hello,
 * My site allows for logins via facebook. When I set cerber to not allow direct
   access to wp-login.php this breaks the facebook login functionality. If I whitelist
   facebooks IP addresses will this allow their servers to access by wp-login.php
   while blocking everyone else? Is there a workaround for this issue?

 * Hi! No, you cannot activate this feature in your case whatsoever. The plugin 
   you install to provide “logins via facebook” feature needs to redirect users 
   to the wp-login.php page the default, automatic way. There is no workaround and
   it makes no sense since you permit to log into your website by using a public
   social network.
 * Does providing the ability to log in with social credentials make sense in the
   post-Facebook era?
