The attached configuration files, options.pptpd and pptpd.conf are the ones I'm using. note that the paths for various files and executables may look a bit strange as these are built in an OpenPKG portable packagement system package based in /csrel26. There are pretty vanilla with only the localip and remoteip set to addresses on our internal LAN. The options.pptpd file requests modules which are probably Linux specific and will require changes for freebsd. The chap-secrets file goes in /etc/ppp or wherever the system expects to find it. There are more sophisticated ways to handle this, but for small systems, I like KISS. One line per client login with their login name and password. I have forgotten most of what I once knew about PPP configuration when we were setting up regional ISPs with lots of dialup connections (and we used Bay/Nortel Annex servers which handled most of this with their own configurations). We use OpenVPN for most of our VPN connections which I find much easier to handle.
