Note About Automatic Downloads

Please do not make high-frequency automatic downloads of RP-PPPoE from this web site. In particular, if you are scripting build infrastructure, do not have your build script pull the sources from here; you will be blocked. Instead, obtain the sources from https://downloads.uls.co.za/rp-pppoe/. Thanks to Jaco Kroon and the ULS Group for hosting the sources there.

Public Git Repository

RP-PPPoE has a public Git repo at https://salsa.debian.org/dskoll/rp-pppoe

Oh, one little thing...

If you are coming from one of Microsoft's Public IP Addresses, then you will not be able to download RP-PPPoE. I'm sorry about that, but someone/something keeps re-downloading the tarball every few minutes from that address range and it eats up a lot of bandwidth. The source IP address keeps changing, too, so I've had no choice but to block the entire address space from downloading the tarball. If you find this to be a problem, please email [email protected].

Here are some logs.

Support

RP-PPPoE is free software; it comes without warranty or support. I regret that I cannot offer e-mail or telephone support for RP-PPPoE. If you received RP-PPPoE as part of a Linux distribution you paid for, you may have the right to support from the distribution vendor. Try your vendor first.
