why not just start pf after the connection comes online once in the ppp.linkup? that'll solve the redundant call problem
and i think tun0 is always what obsd uses to reference a pppoe connection

I use pppoe to connect to my DSL service provider. I call ppp from rc.local so my 'net connection is established after pf has been started.
The problem is that I use (tun0) in my pf.conf as my external address, but when pf loads pf.conf it spews some errors about tun0 not having any address associated with it. Therefore, I have to reload my ruleset in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.
That's not a problem; I'm just wondering if there is a better way to give tun0 a dummy address initially to appease pf and so that I don't have to reload my ruleset immediately (using (tun0) will automagically update my external addr, right?).
Is a really stupid question?
