I wonder why www.google.com resolved to 31.13.94.37, which IPinfo tells me belongs to AS32934 Facebook, Inc. https://ipinfo.io/31.13.94.37

Hello, I'm the developer of Nping, I'm glad you're interested in Nping, forgive me for using translation software to write this content, usually a domain name itself will be resolved to more than one ip address, Nping uses the output of the system command Ping

Also, the 'apple.com' IP address in the screenshot (221.194.154.187) belongs to a Chinese company.

The developer seems to be located in China. You are seeing the Great Firewall in action:

> The GFW does not have a unique technique of censorship. One of its strengths is to combine several techniques. One of them is the generation, by the network itself (and not by a lying resolver), of bogus DNS responses. You ask for a censored name and as a result you get an answer giving an IP address that has nothing to do with the question asked. [...] But if you ask him about a censored name, then the network generates a false answer. Even if the input is the same, the response varies from a request to another: [...]. The IP address 157.240.17.14 belongs to Facebook (normally scratch.mit.edu is at Fastly), a prime example of the lies generated by the GFW.
