I am trying to use Tunnelblick with the OpenVPN configuration files that are prepared by Private Internet Access. For example:

When Tunnelblick has completed installing your will then be asked if you have configuration files. If you installed PIA’s Configuration files select ‘I have Configuration files’ to continue setting up the application. Step 7: Locate Config files. Locate your OpenVPN configuration files in your Downloads folder. Step 8: Extract Config Files. Use a VPN app that implements split tunneling. Several (not many) VPN services implement VPN. When Tunnelblick has completed installing your will then be asked if you have configuration files. If you installed PIA’s Configuration files select ‘I have Configuration files’ to continue setting up the application. Step 7: Locate Config files. Locate your OpenVPN configuration files in your Downloads folder. Step 8: Extract Config Files. Tunnelblick will ask if you want to add for All users, or just your user. Enter your computer Admin password to allow the configuration file to be added. Click the Tunnelblick icon in the Menu bar to connect; Enter your Username and password when prompted.
