      Hello guys, kindly help as I am getting this error whereby my SG-2440 gets stuck at "starting DNS resolver".I tried re-installing new pfsense software but it still gets me to that point.

        I think there's a clue a few lines up:
        "Setting up static routes...route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable"
        Are all the network cables needed plugged in?
        Is the link up on them?
        Is "upstream" of the 2440 plugged in and can it reach out?

        Did you reinstall and then reapply your configuration to get to this point?
        If so what happens if you reinstall but don't reapply your configuration, does it get further?

          It can wait there for a long time trying to start the Resolver if there's no upstream connectivity but it should eventually pass that even with the WAN disconnected.
