Successfully Connected To OpenVPN on pfSense - But no LAN and Internet Access

[boinky]

Couple of years ago, I've setup my OVPN correctly using pfSense 2.1.4 before - I followed a blog post.

Now, I am trying it again on a VirtualBox environment, with two dedicated Ethernet Ports - bridged. 1 for WAN, 1 for LAN

I've created the OVPN Server using pfSense GUI, went through the wizard and had completed the setup. Exported the client bundle for Linux.

My Linuxmint machine, using network manager, can connect to the VPN with no problem.

BUT, once connected I can NO longer access 192.168.1.1 and the Internet.

pfSense's WAN address is getting it from my LTE Modem/Router from one of its LAN Port.

Here are my connection details:

LTE Modem/Router Subnet:
192.168.254.0

pfSense (192.168.1.1) Subnet:
192.168.1.0

OVPN Subnet:
10.0.1.0

Client Machine:
Linuxmint 18 - via Network Manager
