Netbird Pfsense site-to-site

Hi fellow Netbirds,
I have installed Netbird on my Pfsense and followed the instructions. I just have so many questions and things that I don’t understand. I am quite familiar with PfSense, I have done quite some networking but am not a network expert. I am very new to Netbird.

I am looking to create a separate Network inside Netbird which is controlled/gated by the pfsense(as routing peer?). Basically the pfsense is the router to my cabled home network and I want to add servers which are behind the pfsense, inside the home network, to be available in Netbird. So I would be able to communicate from outside my home network with a server inside the Netbird network, behind pfsense.
After following the official instruction I thought this would be the case but it isn’t. What setup/configuration do I need in order to create this sort of site-to-site connection? Does anyone have some tips on what I should do

You’ll still need to define your local network as a networki in Netbird the same way that you would if you used some linux peer as a router.

After that you should be able to access your LAN IP addresses from Netbird without installing Netbird client on each server.
Naturally, it would be better to install Netbird client on every server so that all servers are Netbird peers. That way you wouldn’t have to use Pfsense as a Netbrid router.
