"is trying to connect to clients3.google.com" on app start?

See original GitHub issue

I have LuLu running on my mac OS to monitor outgoing connections and just noticed that every time I launch the app, LuLu pops up saying that RN App is trying to connect to google!

It stopped warning me once I commented out my useNetInfo() line

Just curious why it’s trying to ping google if I’m only checking whether the connection type is wifi not (not internet connection)?

This is related to the internet connectivity feature. It used Chrome’s captive portal detection URL to work. There is an open PR to make this configurable.
