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

A Domain name resolved to many IP addresses is true. But Google's domain name resolved to Facebook's IP? That is very odd.

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…

How about using the system's own ping command? Nping essentially calls the system's Ping command

That's normal for most websites blocked in China.

They usually resolve to either other blocked websites to trigger a "dangerous website phishing" warning from the browser, or the ISP's own website pretending to be a captive portal.

When I switch to vpn I get the right results, maybe GFW is causing the problem

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. My comment wasn't meant as criticism of you or Nping; I had just never seen a DNS server intentionally return obviously incorrect results before.

nping软件已经存在，就是跟nmap一起走的软件。 建议重新命名一下。

Thanks ~ I named it that way because of the pun in Chinese at the time, and didn't think it would have some heat at the time, so I'll take your offer seriously
