**NOTE:** If Electron is not able to connect to a local area network (LAN) or
a router, it is considered offline; all other conditions return `true`.
So while you can assume that Electron is offline when `navigator.onLine`
returns a `false` value, you cannot assume that a `true` value necessarily
means that Electron can access the internet. You could be getting false
positives, such as in cases where the computer is running a virtualization
software that has virtual ethernet adapters that are always "connected."
Therefore, if you really want to determine the internet access status of Electron,
you should develop additional means for checking.
