        hi, i work for italian wisp and  i use pppoe for autenticate residential client ( bridge 5 ghz + ap 2.4 ghz with pppoe username and password inside…) and captive portal for pubblic user who come from bar, beach ecc...
        for set up autentication with ppope :

        1 enable pppoe
        2 set dhcp on him interfaces
        3 insert subnet example 10.0.0.1 for pppoe client an ip of pppoe  server example 10.0.1.1
        4 try with local autentication
        5 prepAre a pppoe connection in one client pc.

          for first enable dhcp on lan  interfaces.

          this connect this interface on switch.

          take a win dows pc and  configure its  lan interface for obtein ip from dhcp. create new connection ( start–connetc to--- create  new connection -- internet connection--manual connection-- dsl connection (you can watch now the pppoe connection... : ))--- isp connection name 'test' --- username  'test'---password 'test' ---done. 
          now you have a client who ask for pppoe connection.

          after this you have client and server  for configure the server is easy:
          insert subnet example 10.0.0.1 for pppoe client an ip of pppoe  server example 10.0.1.1
          click on tab local autentication and add client 'test' 'test'.

          now all pc who receive dhcp from pfsense  ( wireless + cable) can navigate after lunch pppoe connection... undestend?
