Why Your Flutter App Thinks It’s Online When It’s Not (And How to Fix It)

Standard plugins lie—they say "Connected" even if the router has no internet. I built an open-source package (connectivity_validator) that uses native OS validation + smart HTTPS pings to detect actual internet access

&quot;Hey, everyone! 👋 OP here.
I built this package because I was tired of standard plugins telling me I was ‘Connected’ when I was actually stuck behind a Captive Portal or a dead router.
connectivity_validator uses native OS validation (NetCapabilities on Android / NWPathMonitor on iOS) plus smart HTTPS pings to ensure the user actually has data.
It’s open source, and I’d love your feedback! How do you currently handle ‘fake’ connections in your apps?&quot;
