Hello,
I had the same issue as you I believe. Here's my thread
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=141954.0
Had to create a new interface called it VPN, then made a gateway for VPN trafffic, created NAT outbound rule for new VPN interface to point to my LAN1 Router.
I'm new to pfsense, it can be very confusing.. Hope this helps, I too read almost every thread and still didn't get it working.
Mine is working now, I'm still not sure if it's correctly configured but works.

Hey thanks for the advice I’ll give it a go when I get home, yeah it is quite confusing especially when your learning along the way

Hey thanks heaps for your instructions it works perfectly so I guess the instructions apply for all port forwarding with this VPN configuration?
