Routing issue with Proxmox guest on a node in a Proxmox cluster running webservers

So I am trying to make a private intranet accessible via both ZeroTier and OpenVPN (and maybe WireGuard). So far while things like SSH, and Wazuh ossec agents work, a webserver running on a guest VM as either the Apache2 or python3's http.server module can show the contents of the training materials that I am sharing with friends, but for some reason, when it comes to actually loading the *.pdf file, or a media file like mp4 as downloadable content, it does not seem to work.

Is there some sort of IPTables rule or ipv4 forwarding configuration that I need to enable to allow this to happen on my Proxmox node? The webserver guest is Ubuntu 20.04 and is both connected as a ZeroTier client and a OpenVPN Access Server. The tunnels work for both, but being able to host content on a private intranet through SDN or VPNs doesn't seem to work.

I do not want to give up security if IPv4 forwarding is not required for webservers to work. All firewall rules in the guests are disabled. I am guessing that I need a IPTables NAT rule to allow people to access content in the private intranet.
