      Hmm, but the logs are still filling continually?

      No. The logs fill with those messages on rebooting after enabling if_pppoe and also on each subsequent reboot.

      This stops once I restart unbound via the cli and then use menu options 11/16 in order to be able to access the webgui. Once that is done the continuous log messages stop.

          @bigsy Does applying this patch help?

            Thanks. Afraid it didn't help - I applied the patch, rebooted and the same behaviour was exhibited.

              I'm still experiencing the same problems as originally described on the latest 25.03-BETA (amd64)

              whenever if_pppoe is enabled and the system rebooted.
              No problems when if_pppoe is not used.

                Hmm, do you have a more complete log of what you're seeing?

                If you set 'Do not wait for RA' does the behaviour change?

                  @stephenw10 i can provide logs if you want to look at them. I previously tried the ‘do not wait for RA’ option and there was no PPPoE connection.

                          @marcosm @stephenw10 Apologies for the delay in acknowledging, I've been away for a while but thanks for giving this your attention. Fixed for me as of 25.03-beta 10th June. Cheers!
