        Why are you running the VPN server behind pfSense. It adds an extra routing hop and you have to tell every device you want to connect to on the LAN how to reach the other end of the VPN. Run the server on pfSense and that will be handled by the default route.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
