Having pfsense and winserver communicate.

I have a dell power edge r740, I have installed proxmox on it and running just two VMs (pfsense for firewall and win server 2022)

I want winServer to handle both dhcp and dns because eventually AD will be used to authenticate users.

I have managed to install both but, I can't get pfsense talk to winserver.
All VMs easily pink the WAN gateway (192.168.100.1)

I have created a dhcp on winserver but it does give out any IPs and yes its enabled.

I think issue is with the ports right now. I have vmbr0 connected directly to the WAN gateway getting 192.168.100.x for all VMs and proxmox

I created a new pool on winserver 192.168.0.x that I wanted to use on all LAN devices connected through vmbr1.
There isn't any VLan tagging in my setup(don't know if it's needed).

So pfsense keeps on giving a gateway on 192.168.1.1 on LAN devices even though dhcp isn't enabled.

I would like pfsense just to be the firewall, picks an IP from WinServer, and let winServer handle dhcp and dns for all the LAN.

Kindly guide me with any material or advice. Thanks.

I really think my problem is having the VMs ping through vmbr0 and vmbr1 ports.

Thanks.
