Hello,
Since years i have a pppoe connection started with systemd.
I use a file in /etc/ppp/peers called proximus with this content
# load plugin for PPPoE
plugin rp-pppoe.so
#
# Ethernet interface to use
eno3
#
# set user
#user bk287867@SKYNET
user bk287867@PROXIMUS
#
# set lower mtu/mru for PPPoE
mtu 1492
mru 1492
#
# automatically set the PPP connection as your default route (for IPv4 only)
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
#
# obtain DNS entries
usepeerdns
#
# never die
idle 0
maxfail 0
persist
passive
# PCE 20220526.sn
# switch off all compressions (this is a must)
nopcomp
# this is recommended
novjccomp
noccp
# PCE 20220526.en
#
# renames the PPP connection from an automatically generated name (dzf= ppp0)
#ifname pppoe-proximus
#
#enable IPv6 support
# +ipv6
#
#use your IPv4 address as the local identifier for IPv6CP
#ipv6cp-use-ipaddr
noipv6
Today I did a zypper dup and rebooted the system but I receive now a lot of errors and i have no internet connection
