Uptime Kuma can have a monitor that pings your gateway or google.com or something else on the Internet.
I'm not sure if it's simpler than smoke ping or not though, it's been too long since I used it
For me, it is easier than ~~smoking~~ smokeping. But smokeping offers more details by pinging the same host 20 times each run. This can help to discover packet loss.
