Launcher cannot establish connection to the internet

Notice

An attempt at fixing this has been made in the latest beta version of the launcher. Please try that before trying any workarounds. You can toggle the beta version on in the Settings pane - If you are stuck on the login screen, try the following:

  • Locate your .minecraft folder. In that folder, open the 'launcher_profiles.json' using notepad. At the bottom of the file change "channel": "release", to "channel": "beta"

Please post a new launcher_log.txt if you still have this problem in the beta.

Some users have reported that this issue can be worked around by changing the DNS. (Guide for switching to Google's DNS by @unknown in this comment)

So when I open the launcher, it tells me to play offline, and im conneted to the internet and when I do the reset btton it still says that im not connected

That didn't fix it for me either. Did you restart or anything? I am really curious why the log says was added to the blacklist? Like it intentionally prevents us from logging in I have that exact same thing.

I was working from home using VPN and forgot to close it later. Disconnecting from VPN solved this problem for me. I was also experiencing MCL-11754 (where I've posted the same comment).

Since the last update my minecraft launcher does not connect to the internet and anytime I try to log in it says "make sure that you are online" when I already am. At first I thought it was a problem with Macfee security but the launcher still didn't work. I've turned off my firewall and it still didn't work. I tried changing the dns, deleting and redownloading minecraft, deleting host files, opening the launcher as administrator, but nothing has worked. It keeps refusing to connect to the internet. I eventually tried opening my account with a third party system (multimc) but it says that it couldn't connect to the mojang servers. It seems to have blacklisted my IP somehow. Help.

its not that it doesn't work but, i gone to the bottom of the file like you said and I see nothing that says channel, do I have a outdated version?
