Can I use some pingr function to leave my RStudio online? When I use the is.online () command, the answer is FALSE.

I am not sure what you mean. You mean your machine goes offline by itself somehow?

I am trying to get some data through the wdpar package, but I have the following error message: "Error in wdpa_fetch (" Malta ", wait = TRUE):    data not found in download_dir, and on the internet connectionto download it. " Probably my R is not identifying that I'm connected to the internet. I wonder if I can use some pingr function to solve this problem.

Not really. pingr will tell you that you are offline, but it cannot put you online.

Ok, thank you.
