TCP Connection Not Working (LAN/OpenVPN)

[elidevender]

Welcome!
I am new to pfSense forums and I hope that I chose the correct category. I tried to solved it on StackExchange and the I realized, that this should be the right board.  ;)

I am currently working on my network setup for educational purposes. pfSense is installed on a virtual machine on my proxmox node which is connected to my home router (fritz.box). There is another virtual machine on the node which is running a http server I want to access outside my network. Both virtual machines are connected to a basic linux bridge of proxmox without any firewall or routing configuration (acts as a normal switch). pfSense also host the dhcp server for this network which works fine.

So I created a openvpn server from which I can access the lan of my VMs. OpenVPN pushes the route to the client and DHCP to the VMs in pfSense LAN. So I am able to connect to my openvpn server and I can ping all machines on the lan and the other way around. Now I started to work with TCP/HTTP(80) but there are a few problems. If I try to access an HTTP resource of my VM, the created connection cannot be established. The state of the server stucks at "SYN_RECV" and the client one at "SYN_SENT".
I have tried to disable the firewall pf pfSense but this does not change anything.

Network Structure:

FritzBox LAN: 172.20.0.0/16 (Router as GW with 172.20.0.1) [ISP Connection/Should not be important]
pfSense LAN: 10.44.2.0/24 (pfSense as GW with 10.4.2.254)
pfSense OpenVPN: 10.44.3.0/24 (OpenVPN Server with 10.44.3.1, client-to-client disabled, using SSL/TLS, only Linux/Ubuntu/Debian machines)

Remote clients are located in 172.20.0.0/24 or 0.0.0.0/0. My home router forwards the openvpn port to pfSense. (This part works fine, PING works)
EDIT: Yes, the VM is also connected to my home lan for normal internet uplink. I have disabled it so the default route is through pfSense, but this does not change anything.

VMs "ip -4 route":

172.20.4.254       link#1             UHS         lo0

After that, I analysed the tcp traffic with wireshark/tcpdump and it seems, that SYN and SYN,ACK ist sent correctly, but I cannot find the final ACK.
