Editing the configuration is easy (consult the tunnelblick docs) , but the
version of openvpn included in tunnelblick may not be recent enough to
support --pull-filter. This is a very recently added option.
As I mentioned earlier, its very unlikely that removing ping-restart will
fix the reconnection that you see. If no pings are received for 60 seconds,
the connection must be dead anyway. Assuming the server is set up to do
ping-restart, even if you remove ping-restart from the client, the server
will still initiate a reconnection if it doesn't get any ping from the
client.
