Not seeing my LAN devices when using OpenVPN

Hello,
I'm not too familiar with networking and whatnot.
I've successfully set up OpenVPN on my Opnsense router I am able to log in remotely from my laptop.
But I am not able to see my LAN devices. My VPN ip is 10.10.0.0/24, and my LAN is 192.168.x.x,
If someone could point me in the right direction I'll be grateful.
Thank you

Did you check the firewall rules for the OpenVPN interface? Do you allow traffic to your LAN?

Since I'm a total newbie,
I'm not sure how to do that. Could you tell me how, or point me to a guide?

Regarding OpenVPN you need at least two rules:
1. Allow all incoming IPv4/v6 traffic on UDP 1194 on interface WAN
You find that in Firewall -> Rules -> WAN and can add it if not available.
I guess it is already there. You need that in order to connect.
2. Allow traffic (as needed) on interface OpenVPN
You find that in Firewall -> Rules -> OpenVPN and can add it if not available.
Probably that is missing. Add a new rule: IPv4/IPv6 any protocol, source is the OpenVPN Network and target is your LAN or all (depending on what you want to allow).

What do you mean with "cannot see"?
Are they not reachable / pingable?
When using tools like some network scanners or something, it is possible that those tools will not check VPN / LAN networks, staying in the local network only.

Perhaps add ip4v route 192.168.0.0/16 to your server?
