Stuck on one thing Pfsense

[Halfhidden]

Hi guys I hope this is a quick answer for someone.
I have installed Pfsense 2.6.0 on Proxmox 7.3.3.
The install went well and I installed a WAN (static public ip) and a LAN with a static ip and a DHCP pool.
Pinged and all went well and as far as I can see both LAN and WAN are setup fine.
This is the Duh! bit.
I thought the way to connect any vm's in Proxmox was to create a network device and from the bridge choose the LAN that is in use by Pfsense (in this case vmbr1
I thought then all traffic would route through Pfsense, but I'm not seeing that the network devise for the VM getting a dynamic ip from Pfsense leading me to believe that the traffic isn't flowing through Pfsense at all.
How should Proxmox vm's be connected to Pfsense

Sounds correct. On the PVE host a bridge where all the VMs/LXCs got the virtual NIC bridged to, including the virtual NIC of the pfsense, that works as the LAN side. Maybe your NAT/firewall settings of the pfsense are wrong? Or the DHCP-server of the pfsense isn't properly configured?

Thanks for the reassurance.
I guess it is possible that I have misconfigured the DHCP as I have tried to avoid clashing with the Draytek's ip and set the Pfsense to a higher ip range in the same subnet.
I'll go back to the console and reconfigure the LAN
