    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.

      “Connected to the Internet” is a spectrum from “no network interface available” to “can reach every server that people agree is ‘online’”. Is it enough to have a working TCP/IP stack, receive a ping reply from connectivitycheck.android.com (or other arbitrary server), or do you have to know if there’s a firewall (like in China)?
