Unable to connect to pfSense remotely using OpenVPN

Hi there,

I’m having issues connecting to my pfsense VM remotely using OpenVPN.
I am able to to connect to proxmox webmin after adding it to my DMZ on my router but when changing it to my pfsense wan interface it doesn’t work.

My setup is:

Spectrum Modem and Wireless router combo 192.168.100.0/24.
Router DMZ is my pfSense WAN interface which get it’s IP from the router 192.168.100.165 vmbr1
pfSense LAN 192.168.50.0/24 vmbr2
Proxmox management interface vmbr0 192.168.100.60 (which i currently use to administer remotely router DMZ, I know not good :) )
All other VM’s are connected to pfSense LAN vmbr2 192.168.50.0/24

When i connect my laptop to the router directly and use a 192.168.100.x IP I’m able to connect via VPN, but as soon as i try to connect, let’s say when connected to my hotspot, and of course selecting pfSense WAN interface for DMZ on my router, it doesn’t work.

Am I missing something.

Side note, Hardware Checksum Offloading is turned off in pfSense.
