I know that with the new Minecraft client, I often get the common "network unreachable" error that is the result of the Mojang blacklist. Meep had previously circumvented this error, but in order to get this to work I had to downgrade my launcher to the legacy version and keep the version set to 1.11.2. In my opinion, techs should look into the previously-implemented circumvention efforts and rework them in order to attain a more permanent solution for a wider range of players. This would probably also help with the low(ish) player count that we've experienced since the blacklist.
