      found this solution,

      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Pbi_add:_Invalid_file_for_usercheck
      

      but its keeps giving me this error even the log in user is a Admin and has root access to run the shell.

      Must be run as root or a member of the operator group! pfsense

        Are you running those commands from the ssh shell, or from Diagnostics > Command? They should be run from the shell (ssh or console)

          You do understand that is just the little export wizard thing, its is not openvpn.  When you say openvpn is missing from your settings that seems more involved than the export wizard package having issues.

            exactly,
            i mean the openvpn was already installed, after the update my exisiting client just stops working.
            so tried to export it again but it gone. and can't reinstall it
