      I have Pfsense Lab which work fine for all traffic and ipsec vpn traffic, however I have connected one remote site with PPTP VPN configured on window server which directly connected to router. On pfsense I give the static route for pptp server and pass the clients traffic from pfsense to vpn server, through this can ping and access the remote web server with ip address however couldn't access through domain name..
      Can anyone please help me?

        If it's only one host name you need to access on the remote site, add a host override to your DNS settings.
        If there is a DNS server running on the remote site hosting a DNS domain add a domain override pointing to the remote DNS.

        BTW: PPTP VPN is known as insecure for 15 years now!
