Because the server is in a different subnet than my LAN. Let's say the server is in the 10.10.20.0/24 net and on my LAN I have the 10.10.10.0/24 net. A demilitarized zone (DMZ) has only access to the internet and to no other net. A Firewall rule blocks outgoing connections from the DMZ to all other nets, exept the internet. So from the VM I have no access to my LAN, where the console would be. The other way round is possible, from my LAN network I have full access to all machines and services in the DMZ.
