Use of classes or functions discussion

This is not a foolproof way to test if internet is active or not, but I find that it works in at least 90% of the cases.
If someone has a better (as in works better) method, please post here.

import socket

class HasInternet:
    def __init__(self):
        self.ipaddress = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
        self.isactive = self.ipaddress != '127.0.0.1'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    conn = HasInternet()
    if conn.isactive:
        print('Internet is active')
    else:
        print('Internet is inactive')
