Is there some PPPoE connection software for GNOME? I use gksu pon dsl-provider, but this is very inconvenient, as it has no status indicator and I must type the root password each time, which I'm not sure is a safe way to connect to the Internet.
Distribution: Anything NOT SystemD (ie. M$) related.

Rep:
gnome-ppp
or wvdial
and why don't you think its safe to use pon?
it's up to you to make any connection as secure as you want... but everyone basically starts with an insecure connection to their provider.. heck, these days we can't even trust our own isp's.. they way they work with the cops and government.
