I have had some experience with ESX server, the only thing that comes to mind is that maybe setting a static MAC on that interface to match what VMware has configured would help? If not that then at least we have that base covered.

I forgot to say I did try to open up the WAN interfaces a bit, but maybe not
correctly.  I setup this Port Forward rule:

NAT Rule
---------
WAN
TCP
8088
192.168.30.200 (ext.: any)
80 (HTTP)

... and a WAN rule to let everything in:

Firewall Rule > WAN Tab
-----------------------
Pass
TCP
*
*
WAN address

I ping the pfSense VM using the web tool "Diagnostics: Ping" it can ping
itself from the WAN Interface:

PING 8.*.*.243 (8.*.*.243) from 8.*.*.243: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.713 ms
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.218 ms
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.225 ms

--- 8.*.*.243 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss



I'm still unable to access the WAN interface from any external machine.

By default nothing will pass the WAN. You need to put in firewall rules
on the WAN permitting the traffic.
