I was wondering if you managed to get this working? I have the same (or very similar) requirement, and after many searches I can't figure how to do this or even if pfSense supports this.
When I go to Interfaces -> Assign -> PPPs and create a new PPP interface there is an option to select L2TP as a Link Type. I filled in what I thought was sensible options, and then created a new interface using the L2TP as the 'Network port', but pfSense immediately rebooted after I enabled that interface and then went into a boot loop - each time during bootup when it enabled that interface it rebooted again.
To fix it I had to boot into single user mode and restore a backup config.xml file.My setup works like this:
I have an ADSL connection, using an ADSL modem in bridged mode and pfSense establishes a PPPoE connection, getting a DHCP assigned dynamic IP address. With this I can browse the internet.
My ISP then offers a static-IP option which I'd like to use. This is done through an L2TP tunnel, using the ADSL connection.
They provide the following configuration settings to get it working in a Billion BiPAC 7402GX router:
Connection Type: Remote Access
Type: Dial Out
Sever IP: 196.30.121.50
Username: Your DSL Username
Password: Your DSL Password
Authentication Type: PAP
Tunnel Authentication: Yes
Secret: h3lp
Active as Default Route: Yes
IPSec: NoAny ideas how I can get this set up in pfSense?

Hi Kyle,
Unfortunately, no.
