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.

It’s not DNS

There’s no way it’s DNS

It was 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.

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

[-] Zubgub@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

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