You need to read the /usr/share/example/ppp/ppp.conf.sample. You are in .de land and that may make a difference. The ppp.conf.sample has a section called pmdemand that is setup to dial an ISP using DHCP. I modified it to add my dial in username and password. You also need a proper ppp.linkup and a ppp.linkdown to add and clear information for your tun0 interface. I start user-ppp from /etc/ppp, where I have the ppp information, with "ppp -auto -alias pmdemand" and it does everything from then on. My ppp.linkup is pmdemand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR My ppp.linkdown is pmdemand: iface clear This keeps everything clean as I dial to my ISP.
