How to replace the Vodafone Station with your very own router
Vodafone forces its customers to use their modem/router, the "Vodafone Station": using any other router is impossible because authentication is being done via a custom PPPoE setup.
In the PPPoE packet there is a field named Host-Uniq which is used to separate packets from different PPPoE sessions: Vodafone requires the Station serial number to be put in this field as authentication.
Hardware setup
A Linux router with root access is needed to replace the Station with. With an xDSL connection a modem with a custom firmware like OpenWrt has to be used, most likely one based on a Lantiq SoC.
For a FTTH internet connection then every machine with at least two gigabit ethernet interface and a decent CPU will do it.
Set an environment variable called CMDER_ROOT to your root Cmder folder (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Cmder). It seems to be important that this does not have quotes around it because they mess with concatenation in the init script.
In your IntelliJ terminal settings, use "cmd" /k ""%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"" as the Shell path. The double-double-quotes are intentional, as they counteract the missing double quotes in the environment variable.
