Hey, it worked. This is just as valid to prove that the internet connection is up.

Still don't know if it's ip, dhcp or dns.

i mean, if you can get to a search engine, all three are probably fine?

Its always DNS

Except for when it isn’t, and even then it sometimes is.

If the test passes, all of these are fine. If it fails, well, you got to dig then.

DNS may not be fine tho. You may have ddg cached

Great to use DuckDuckGo. Don’t want to rely on Google for anything.

Isn't 8.8.8.8 from Google?

That’s the joke

I want sure... Whoosh to myself then

For sure I wouldn't use Google to ping Google.

As long as it's noai.duckduckgo.com

There is also lite.duckduckgo.com and html.duckduckgo.com for javascript free variants
