Ping response is not necessarily a good test.  After all, many servers
are configured to drop ICMP echo request to avoid DDoS.

Try:

             host www.google.com 1.1.1.1

and you will get a response (see below).

Using domain server:
Name: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Aliases:

www.google.com has address 172.217.194.99
www.google.com has address 172.217.194.103
www.google.com has address 172.217.194.104
www.google.com has address 172.217.194.105
www.google.com has address 172.217.194.106
www.google.com has address 172.217.194.147
www.google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4003:c00::6a
