Port Forwarding for VPN

I am building a Proxmox server behind a firewall. The firewall is not managed by me so I cannot make changes to it when I create a new VM or container. I want to create a virtual environment where all the traffic for the VMs is managed within Proxmox then gets spat back out the main IP addres.

For example, I'm trying to build a VPN. For reference, I'm using the helper script for Wireguard from https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#wireguard-lxc. The firewall will forward a port from our public IP to the IP address of the server. Let's say public ip 123.456.1.1 port 34567 gets forwarded to internal network IP 192.168.2.10 (not the real addresses or ports). Is there a way to get that traffic forwarded to the container without making any changes to the firewall device?

I could call the MSP and ask them to make changes to the firewall, but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't requirement to wait on a 3rd party to complete a task.
