You should enable the WAN connection feature within the PfSense interface itself. Check the documentation for instructions on configuring it from the OS level.

Avoid this option—it lacks security. Use a VPN connection before accessing the webUI.

You definitely don’t need this. Remember, you won’t be able to access your network or reset your pfSense password. It’s important to stay safe—use a VPN instead.

I’m unable to link to the configuration because accessing from my home network isn’t possible. There’s no LAN connection available; this setup is for a VMware server and I don’t have a clear path to reach it.

I discovered the reason it didn't function properly—the PfSense VM had incorrect settings.
