Hi Ive recently setup a Openvpn server to manage my proxmox instance without opening it up to the internet

however im unable to access proxmox via either webgui or ssh

my Network is setup as
pfSense 172.16.1.1
proxmox 172.16.1.2
ubuntuserver 172.16.1.3

openvpn "endpoint" (what my ip will be when i login with vpn 172.16.2.0/24)

What i can do now is access ssh using the ubuntuserver then sshing into the proxmox host
but direct to proxmox does not work

Im assuming that its something to do with the firewall so ive disabled it but i still cannot connect

if theres is anything else i should provide please comment it and ill try to provide it

Thanks
 
Hello,

Did you check the firewall in the pfSense for the OpenVPN network? could you please provide us with your network configuration from the PVE side?

What do you mean by firewall on pfSense? Im not sure what I need to be looking for since i can access the rest of my vms ssh/gui/webpage
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp4s0 inet manual

iface enp5s0 inet manual

iface enp3s0f0 inet manual

iface enp3s0f1 inet manual

iface enx00909e9d31b7 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 172.16.0.4/24
        bridge-ports enp4s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094
        gateway 172.16.0.1
        dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.11/24
        bridge-ports enp3s0f0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

Here's cat /etc/network/interfaces
