        More info required
        Is the screenshot taken on a windows PC ?

        I have seen this on a Win10 machine , when the IT dept all of a sudden made a policy , that didn't allow to change the windows DNS'es.

            My guess is that you might have installed OpenVPN as "user" , it seems that it needs to be installed with local admin privilleges.

            See below:

            https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/281
            
            As Local-Admin, uninstall openvpn.
                Login as your user and re-install openvpn.
                At the UAC enter the Local-Admin password.
            
            
            This should create the group and add your user to it.
            

            It does not point to pfSense , as being the source of the error.
