Connection failure to WMS/WMTS or WFS

Question

I can't connect to any of the Web Map Services (WMS/WMTS/WFS) in QGIS. 
I don't think its a problem with the servers I'm using, but more about QGIS not being connected to the internet maybe?

The pop-up error is: "Host could not be found."

Examples of servers I am using:

(WFS) https://wxs.ign.fr/choisirgeoportail/geoportail/wfs?
(WMS/WMTS) https://wxs.ign.fr/choisirgeoportail/geoportail/wmts? SERVICE=WMTS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
(WMS/WMTS) https://portal.opentopography.org/dataCatalog?listAll=true&group=global

Version: QGIS Desktop 3.10.2

Any ideas why it is not working I will highly appreciate it.

I try to use the first link and it works like this:

https://wxs.ign.fr/choisirgeoportail/geoportail/wfs

The second link is necessary to add ? between wmts and SERVICE

https://wxs.ign.fr/choisirgeoportail/geoportail/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

Finally the last link does not have a wms service, but I found a few on the page, and I found this link: https://www.gmrt.org/services/

to visualize the service, you have to do the next steps:

Right-click on WMS/WMTS on the navigation pane and click in new Connection.

Enter the name of the Connection, the URL of the service, and click in Accept.

Finally, you can select in the navigation pane and choose the service that you want to visualize.

Example of the third link:
