OpenVPN time-out

[tripline]

My OpenVPN seems to time-out really fast (around 15 minutes). I try to do a ping -t yahoo.com to act as if the computer is active but I still get timed out. Why would constant ping count as inactivity? How can I extend my time-out or remove it altogether?

Here is my client config file

proto udp

remote IP port#
