It's a bit difficult to understand what you want, but I can at least tell you that visualnet.inf.br doesn't resolve. Which obviously means it's not reachable by anyone on the internet.

curl https://visualnet.inf.br/store
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: visualnet.inf.br

Hi,
My question is regarding the below url

WaitForInternet - Best way to check the internet connection

This library was inspired and based on WaitForTheInternet by César Pérez https://github.com/ouvigna/WaitForTheInternet Your application will be able to get through an event, as it connects to the internet via Wifi or 3G, without the need to be checking all the time, not consuming battery...

Also using this library does it drain bayttery ?

The best way is to make the specific request and do whatever you need to do if it fails.

Please help with the best way

Do While True
 'make request
 'wait for result
 'if job.Success -> do whatever you need and Return
 Sleep(30000)
Loop

I know I'm late here, but checking for internet is really easy, doesn't really require any special libraries. Just throw a ping to 8.8.8.8 (Google's permanent DNS server). Very reliable, works great, very simple. Only libraries I'm using are Core and Phone. Here's my code, works very well in the app I wrote in B4a v8.8, but there are many code examples on here that use this similar approach to pinging Google's 8.8.8.8:

In Process Globals:
Dim SB as StringBuilder

in Globals:
' Show main menu only if internet connectivity test successful, otherwise ExitApplication
SB.Initialize
If Ping("8.8.8.8", "Status", 5, 10, True) = "Offline" Then
Msgbox("No active internet connection detected. Turn off airplane mode if enabled, otherwise check cell data service or WiFi connectivity.","Connection Failed")
ExitApplication
Else
blOnlineCheckPassed = True ' my own variable used elsewhere
StartActivity(tocmenu)
' Close this screen
Activity.Finish
End If
