Unable to access websites on MacBook Pro despite being connected to WiFi

Launch a browser and enter this easy to remember all-numeric IP address:

1.1.1.1

in the address bar, and press return.

If in a Hotel or trying to access public Wi-Fi, and you get the local network login page, enter your credentials and proceed.

If you get the CloudFlare** splash page, your internet is working, but DNS lookup may not be working.

**CloudFlare is NOT part of the solution, they just own the easiest to remember all-numeric IP Address.

The reason attempts at web pages may not work in certain situation is that what your Mac tries first is a DNS server request (look up this “website.com” to an ‘all-numeric’ Internet Phone number). Your actual web page request goes nowhere because your Mac can't determine where to send it.

Supplying an All numeric IP address Does go out, because it needs no DNS lookup.
