Can't ping or access while connected via VPN
-
First port here. pfSense newbie. Learning and practicing in a homelab.
So the issue I'm having is that when I connect to my home LAN while away from home via OpenVPN client, I cannot ping nor access the IP I assigned my pfSense box. OpenVPN is not setup on pfSense, its running on my current regular wifi router which has the OpenVPN client/server functionality.
Now, while I'm connected to my home LAN via VPN, if I start up one of the VM's running on my Proxmox server, I can ping and access the IP from the VM.
Maybe I'm not totally understanding what's going on so I'm looking for some help from the all the pros out there. Thanks.

Was trying to edit post but it wasn’t letting me.
pfSense is running on a VM not on a physical machine.

Where is this device, on the WAN side or LAN side of pfSense ?

pfSense has at least 2 interfaces. Which one ?
Can you reach other devices on your LAN ?
Firewall rules for those interfaces ?
