1.1.1.1 has never been an RFC1918 'private' address. Applications that treat it as such are broken.
RFC1918 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918 ) only list three address blocks for private use: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16
All other blocks are either reserved or are allocated (at this point, at least).
