      No idea what the capabilities of the Mikrotik are. Sorry.
      All you need is a switch that can separate two VLANs and tag them to the pfSense port.
      The mikrotik have capabilities for vlans: https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2
      But I don't know how to config

          This is not a Mikrotik support forum. You might have better luck with that over there.

              https://docs.netgate.com/platforms/minnowboard/pfsense.html should be easy to adapt to other hardware.

                  I've been using pfSense and a ADSL modem (not a router !!) from my ISP for years.
                  pfSense initiated the PPPOE connection (a modem can do anything, it's a 'dumb' device) that converts ADSL POTS electrical signals to an Ethernet connection.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    While you can use a VLAN & managed switch, why not just put in a 2nd NIC? It makes things a bit simpler.

                    PfSense running on Qotom mini PC

                    I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                        I installed with success.
                        I set mikrotik like a Wisp AP - Bridge, I deleted DHCP rules and i create 1 vlan on eth5.
                        In PfSense I created 1 vlan, in Interfaces / Interface Assignments I associate WAN with PPPOE0(em0) created in PPPs like a Link Type - pppoe.
                        Now I have an Pfsense router with 1 single ethernet port for WAN and LAN.
                        Thanks!
