I guess so 192.168.0.0/24 is not your real network as it's public ip ?

You can use vlan on your switch to have a different logical network from
the public ip one

Flows must go both way through Zen. Remote computer is waiting a tcp ack
from the public ip it is connecting to, not another one.
Dnat is the good profile to get real remote ip address.

You should use tcpdump/wireshark on Zen,server and remote client if you can
to figure out issue

Your server should be hidden from direct internet access.

Using a "*" for port would allow remote desktop & ssh & co, which is bad.
Please only allow mail ports / load balanced one
