Wireshark: Ipv4 "fragmented IP protocol" using Qbittorrent Bound To VPN

[rtg3221 0]

I've been noticing this lately in wireshark.  I'm using OpenVPN 2.4.5. Its sending and receiving to the VPN server, however Wireshark shows it is using IPv4, and not the OpenVPN protocol.

 

Is this something to be concerned about, and if so, how can I fix this issue while using OpenVPN?

Hello.

 

it's not an issue, there's nothing to fix. We're sorry, it's beyond our scope to explain what Internet Protocol version 4 and 6 are, and which layer OpenVPN works at, so we'll leave it to any person of good will, or maybe you had better consult Wikipedia and all the resources available on the Internet. Suffice to say: stop worrying.

 

Side note: moving this topic to Off Topic forum.

 

Kind regards
