Here are two ways to unblock content on Hulu outside the US.
Proxies and VPNs (virtual private networks), although one greatly surpasses the
other in terms of reliability. Let’s look more strictly at both options.
The first method is to use an anonymous proxy tools, which
acts as an intermediary in-between your browser and the internet, hiding your
real location with the alternative location, like the US. Proxies are quick and
can be used for free, making them ideal workarounds for geo blocks.
Although this could work with proxies that have US IP
addresses, Hulu is always looking for IP addresses that are related with proxy
tools, so if it detects that many consumers are accessing its website through
one IP you will discover yourself on a screen that says something like this.
Based on your IP address we observed you are trying to access
Hulu through an unidentified proxy tool. Hulu is not currently available
outside the US. If you are in the US, you'll need to inactivate your anonymizer
to access videos on Hulu. If you think you are receiving this message in error,
please submit the form.
Because Hulu is possessed directly by a group of content
partners, they are comparatively quick at identifying and blocking IP addresses
they think come from proxies. With various of these tools only offering just a
handful of IP addresses, you may find by hand having to scan through several
proxy tools before finding one that works.
Virtual Private Networks
The second and trustier way to unblock Hulu with a good VPN.
There are lots of reasons why you should be using a Hulu VPN, and their talent to
bypass geo-blocking on any site is one of them.
The process works the same way as proxies unblock Hulu, by hiding
your IP with a US IP address, but VPNs also encode your traffic, giving your
browsing and streaming behaviors a layer of privacy from snooping ISPs and
government organizations.
