                          On Ubuntu 16.04LTS I'm having trouble getting my service to wait for my PPPoe internet connection before starting. 

My unit file:

    [Unit]
    Description=Home Assistant
    Wants=network-online.target
    After=network-online.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=%i
    ExecStart=/srv/homeassistant/bin/hass -c "/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant"
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

My /etc/network/interfaces:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    auto enp4s0
    iface enp4s0 inet manual
        mtu 1508
    
    auto enp4s0.35
    iface enp4s0.35 inet manual
        vlan-raw-device enp4s0
        mtu 1508
    
    auto wan
    iface wan inet ppp
       provider bell
    
    auto enp3s0
    iface enp3s0 inet static
       address 192.168.80.1
       network 192.168.80.0
       broadcast 192.168.80.255

If I run pon bell there is a considerable delay (10-20s) between the command finishing execution and when the interface appears in ifconfig.

I believe homeassistant is starting early because its logs contain errors about failing to reach public endpoints, which doesn't occur if I restart the service manually after boot.

How can I get the service to wait properly?
