Why do I have good internet, but unable to ping anything?
I was trying to connect my Windows laptop to my Mac Minecraft LAN server, yet I was unable to connect at all. At first, I thought it was because of a bad config of ports or something, but I realised that I can't connect to any Minecraft server, even Hypixel, Aternos, etc. So I tried pinging some servers, and none of them were available. At first, I tried my Mac, then Google, then CloudFlare. Every single one of them returned with general failure, but peculiarly, when I try pinging on Mac, it's totally fine. And even weirder, I can still use the internet perfectly fine on that Windows laptop. D
