OpenVPN Client access to LAN

I have a Firewalla Gold running in router mode with failover dual WANs.

Would like to be able to access LAN devices (e.g. file server, printer) from a remote OpenVPN client.

I have the OpenVPN server and client configured and can connect successfully over the internet. Firewalla sees and notifies of the client connection; the Firewalla IoS app on the client behaves as though it's locally connected (home screen shows the Live Throughput graphs that aren't visible when remotely connected), and the client ping the Firewalla local LAN IP (192.168.168.1).

However, the client can't ping or connect over HTTP/S to the web interfaces of any local LAN devices (e.g. 192.168.168.40).

Adding an Allow rule for traffic from & to LAN from the OpenVPN network had no effect.

Are there other config (rules? routing?) changes required to enable this?

  So my set up I have a rule to allow traffic from my VPN to which ever LAN/VLANs I want to access. If I pause that rule, no ping.
