Container ports not accessible when using VPN Tunnel

General
1

Ubuntu 22.04
Docker 26.1.4
OpenVPN Access Server 2.11.1

Running 7 containers. Some publishing ports. Others using --net host.
The host is also running Openvpn Access server (not as a container)

On the local network, all the containers work as expected. Container ports can be accessed from other devices on the LAN.

If I tunnel into the server via VPN from outside the LAN; other applications on the server are accessible. Containers using --net host are accessible. But containers using -p port:port are not accessible.

I can remove a container using -p port:port and restart using --net host and that container becomes visible from the VPN tunnel.

Question: Is this the expected behavior? The bridge network driver doesn’t expose ports to the VPN access server; yet the Host network driver does?

Can I configure docker to use -p and bridge network driver with the VPN access server?

Thanks in anticipation for you help.
