I was unable to access any websites a few minutes ago.
Visually checked my router—LED indictated there was internet connectivity (not always a fool-proof indicator).
Cloudflare hosts are configured as my DNS Servers.
The primary and secondary DNS Servers (1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 respectively) were unreachable.
My primary DNS server was changed to 9.9.9.9 (Quad9) which remediated website access issues.
I checked Cloudflare's status webpage which indicates that a fix is now being implemented.
Informational post in case anyone else experienced the same issue.
