Ubuntu 22.04 Network Connection Has Question Mark Through it
This Question Mark means the internal connectivity test fails and instead of a network icon, there is a question mark. Apparently, there are no network issues, but that question mark is annoying.
How to turn it off:
Go to Settings > Privacy > Connectivity Checking
Set it OFF. (Then, restart your WiFi connection)
