Best way to check if there is internet?

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer]

Greetings,

Using the standard library or 3rd party libraries, what's the
best way to check if there is internet? Checking if google.com
is reachable is good but I wonder if there is a more native,
protocol-oriented
way of knowing?

Even this URL recommends checking if a domain is up as a way to check for
internet connectivity:
