NordVPN Meshnet with Nginx Proxy Manager

I’ve installed NordVPN + Meshnet with Nginx Proxy Manager on a VM (VM1) and set up another VM with NordVPN with Meshnet (VM2).
When connecting VM1 to VM2 via Meshnet, I am unable to connect VM1 Nginx Proxy Manager Admin portal from my computer. But I can connect to the Admin portal if I disconnect the Meshnet connection.
The connection to the Admin portal also stop working from within VM1 via 127.0.0.1:81 once the meshnet connection starts.

I would like to host a proxy server at home and enable a redirect of traffic via the meshnet connection.

How would I resolve this?

Thanks!
