One physical NIC but 2 Linux Bridges?

Hi All,
Newbie to Proxmox, coming over from (old version of) ESXi.
I have a couple of VMs that need to be behind a permanent VPN which is provided by a virtual pfSense VM running OpenVPN.
the pfSense VM has a "leg" in both my main 192.168.0.x/24 network and the secondary 10.0.0.x/24 network.
I have setup a second Linux Bridge in Proxmox and attached the VMs on the 10 network to this second bridge only.
They can access the web through the pfSense VPN fine.
But they don't seem to be able to access anything on the main (192) network.
It works the other way (I can access mgmt webpages on the 10 VMs from my PC on the 192 network)
I don't think it is firewall rules as this used to work on my old setup and I restored pfsense from a backup when I rebuilt onto Prox.

Only difference here is, my old server had 2 NICs, my new server only has 1.
Please don't say I need VLANs (they confuse the sh*t out of me!) but I shouldn't need VLANs surely if the only devices on the 10 network are behind the second virtual switch / pfSense?
