I am using a 4G modem and everything was working fine except DPinger. Gateway is always shown as down. Doing a TCP Dump I see ping returned when I do a normal ping all works fine.
I tried to use ChatGPT to debug and it suggested among other ideas to do a packet capture. Pings with 64 bytes were working but Dpinger's 8 were not.
Upping the packet count to 64 fixed it. - Must be an issue on the ISP end.

What ISP would that be? What's the minimum length you can get away with?

Movistar Uruguay - got it down to 32 bytes
Thanks, I'm sure that information is useful to others in the future.
