Watch your favorite tv shows on Hulu outside USA for free
zee , January 18th, 2008Unfortunately Hulu Invitations have packed up, all the sites that were offering Hulu invitations are out of invitations and i was one of the lucky person to get an invite on time, though for a few weeks it didn’t run well reason being i was accessing Hulu outside USA. And every time i tried to access Hulu i got the message below :
“Unfortunately this video is not currently available in your country, region. We apologize for this inconvenience.”
So here is a simple easy way to watch Hulu :
But firstly :
What is Hulu.com ? http://www.hulu.com
Hulu offers current primetime shows like The Office, Prison Break, Bionic Woman, House and Bones, and episodes from TV classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Miami Vice, Arrested Development , Family Guy, Simpsons and more(trust me they got it all) . In simple terms all the favourit shows on which we spend rediculous amount of money in buying DVD’s are now available on Hulu.com and you can watch it for free of cost. (I am enjoying the Family Guy’s 6th Season thanks Hulu)
The Issue of Hulu Access across the world ?
Hulu provides content directly from the network’s so the content is copyright protected and for legal reasons they have restricted its access around the globe, if a Family Guys Episodes is aired on Tv in USA it should only be accessible to the internet users from USA. They check this via our IP address.
Bi-pass Hulu Restrictions and Watch Hulu outside USA ?
So far there are two solution to bi-pass restriction to watch Hulu :
- The easy way to bipass hulu is throught HotSpot Shield , its a free internet security suit that encrypts and protects inbound / outbound Internet traffic (email, instant messaging, VoIP calls, web surfing, etc.) by creating a virtual private network. Thus hiding your actual location to a USA based IP as HotSpot Shield is its self for USA only. So after installing HotSpot Shield, run it and you will see a small icon on the task bar right click it and connect a window in IE or Firefox will open and will show the status if it gets connected then refresh Hulu and enjoy the kool episodes.
- Second option is to use Ultrareach UltraSurf is the flagship software product from UltraReach Internet Corp. for Internet anti-censorship. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely. It automatically connects to the fastest possible US proxies. You can also set it up to route only one browser (IE for example) or tunnel other traffic such as BitTorrent.
Status :

I got the hotspot shield and it worked well for a few days but then apparently i went over there 10 gig usage limit and it stopped working in the middle of a show then i tried the other program you suggested and sense I am on a mac that didn’t work for me now if anyone can suggest some other form of connecting to it it would be well appreciated

UltraReach worked in Brasil too, but just on IE. Firefox can’t be used.

niiice, this is excellent. Use of proxies can be so tiring and slow-paced its nice to have an easier alternative. Geo-targeting is becoming more and more common and leaving people like us (in the UK) out in the cold.
The article is much apprecated
Thanks

Hi, I can confirm Hotspot Shield makes hulu work in Israel, too. however, since the program uses a far away American proxy, it slows the connection down.
July 16th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Forgot to mention, I use Firefox 3.0 .
July 27th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Does not work. Downloaded u.exe, and installed internet explorer , only for this. It blocks javascript, and it does not play hulu.
