Connman pings their servers to determine if the connection is online #107

Background: https://together.jolla.com/question/37139/why-is-ipv4statusurlipv6statusurl-needed-in-etcconnmanmainconf/

Connman uses an ipv4 and ipv6 servers to determine if the wifi connection works. Our firewall rules will not allow this ping to transmit so the network will always show as "ready" rather than "connected."

Either disable the pings or redirect them to our nameservers. The latter is not default functionality but someone proposed a patch which was rejected because the developers did not trust third party servers to be sufficiently reliable. https://lists.01.org/pipermail/connman/2014-April/017724.html
