OpenVPN Client blocks port forwarding

Hey guys,
I'm having an issue when using the VPN client on this router.
I have a mumble server open for my friends to connect to, which I would like to stay outside of the VPN. I configure the VPN, and it works fine, connects and all the devices I select adopt the VPN's IP address as I would expect.
However, when I do this, I can no longer connect to the mumble server publically. The server still has the same IP adress, both locally, and publically, however it cannot accept connections. The very instant I disable the VPN on the router, I can connect, and everything works flawlessly, despite nothing changing from the server's point of view.
It feels like theres a bug where port forwarding is disabled with the VPN. Does anyone know how run the VPN for the non server's while keeping port forwarding for the servers?
Thanks in Advance
@Sunshine Sure! Its a container on a proxmox instance, with the network configured like so
The router is configured like this
This lets me keep all the servers on 192.168.1.xxx, and use the .0.xxx space for DHCP and whatnot, just an organizational thing.
Mumble is using its default port, and works well when forwarded like this
This is the Device VPN list
Mumble is only added on here, because I was not sure if the router would consider unlisted devices as an implicit yes, or an implicit no, so I added it to explicity say no.
When the VPN is enabled, it can't accept external connections. Local connections work fine, but I had to turn the VPN off to see it accept connections again.
The server itself is running Ubuntu 22 LTS, and I confirmed that it is not using the VPN, and has the same public IP with VPN client on, and off.
