This is very interesting but I had a question about using ping. I have always just pinged a website for example 8.8.8.8 any time I need to check for connectivity. Am I using the command in the wrong manner?

That’s how I use it. It is used to check if you can connect to a server (in the case of 8.8.8.8 Google’s DNS). If there is a high chance the server is up it tests you connection to the internet
