        pfSense will route anything you allow it to.
        It doesn't care about if the connection is via VPN or not.

        But if you are exposing citrix to "public ip's" : You should care
        I'm not a Citrix guru, and can't help further.

        But i do know that Netscaler provides some protection (when Citrix doesn't FSCK up, as was discovered in late 2019)

          You are going to need some sort of tunnel to do that I would thing. Unless everything is using public routable IPs. It probably should be a VPN tunnel.
