hi there, i want to setup pppoe server with more than 255 Users but i can not do it more than 255, the subnet mask is /22 which that should give me 1024 users. see picture

You can edit the source code to increase that limit, but the feature is not intended to be that high scale. It hasn't been tested to anywhere near that limit, let alone beyond it, so behavior would be unpredictable.

YMMV. It may work, it may not, don't complain if it breaks, etc.

@jimp does it mean that pfsense can not handle more than 255 users or the limitation is with pppoe service?

The limit is set by pfSense, I am not aware of a limit in mpd. But again, it hasn't been tested so you're pretty much on your own there. It isn't intended for that many users, but it may work.
