No, the problem is not necessarily with the Orbi. The way you have it setup, you are trying to connect to your external VPN server through two routers, the Pace and the Orbi. The Pace does not have a proper bridge mode, and DMZ-Plus is not a true bridge mode. The problem is most likely with the way the Pace is handling the traffic.
I would recommend you remove Orbi from the DMZ altogether and run Orbi in Access Point mode. Then your VPN should work, and you would get all the WiFi coverage benefits of Orbi. Or you can spend time searching the Internet for a solution. There's no setting on Orbi that will make this work, other than Access Point mode.
