OpenVPN can ping LAN, but no TCP response

[derlhurgoyf]

I'm trying to migrate from pfsense to opnsense and setup a VPN for our off-site staff to be able to access internal servers on our LAN, but after many days of googling and reading all kinds of suggestions I'm about to throw the towel.

The weird part is that VPN users can ping LAN servers and I can ping them from the server. But TCP connections fail.

WAN: 10.0.0.20
LAN: 192.168.29.0/24
OpenVPN1: 192.168.28.0/24
OpenVPN2: 192.168.31.0/24 (not used yet)

and from the LAN server it looks like this:

I think some NAT rule might be missing, but I couldn't figure it out.
All possibly conflicting firewall rules have been resolved until no more blocking appeared.

what am I missing?

-edit: added vpn config. firewall rules are all pass. NAT tried out many different ways but no luck.
