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.
