    Hello guys!

    I want highlight a frame of OpenVPN.
    My procedure:
    -I lunch capture of packet with the tools on pfSense
    -I extract the capture .cap
    -I read the file with Wireshark

    But i have problems, see:

    My version:
    pfSense: 2.4.4-release-p3
    Wireshark: last version

      It's unlikely that the packet is actually malformed. More likely is that Wireshark doesn't know how to interpret the contents of the packet. Wireshark's parsers don't always keep up with every change in packet contents across versions of things like OpenVPN.
