trylearn.com is for sale. The address now shows a listing rather than a proxy, and the last working capture the archive holds is from July 2013.
What it was
The Internet Archive's first working copy of trylearn.com is from July 2013 and it holds 15 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Welcome to the US Petabox". Underneath it was Glype, the same free script the rest of the directory ran.
It was listed on workingproxysites.com, a directory of free web proxies, 13 years ago, and that listing counted 210 clicks through to it. The directory recorded it as United States.
When it stopped
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 16 July 2013 and the archive kept visiting until 10 July 2025.
What the name does today
We checked trylearn.com on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Attention Required! | Cloudflare".
What to use instead
Use a list somebody keeps checking rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, and an address that stops answering leaves it instead of sitting there for years. If you already have an address, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.
The limits of free are the same everywhere, ours included: the addresses are shared, so the sites that care have seen them before, and there is no session to hold, so logins break part way through.
What this page cannot tell you
The record shows when, not why. Nothing public says whether the operator lost interest, lost the hosting, or simply moved on, so this page does not guess.
Our status check is one day from one vantage point, and a site that refuses requests from data centres would look the same as one that is switched off. We will check this page again by 1 January 2027.
