I prefer VPN to watch Hulu abroad.
So do I… it works great, and you can connect and disconnected whenever you want to! Thanks for the comment!
I just wanted to ask if the instructions here still work? I know that a lot has happened with VPN’s lately, and lots of services like Netflix and Amazon Prime block VPN providers when trying to stream their services overseas. What’s up with Hulu… are the instructions here working and up to date?
Hey there BJ,
your question is 100% valid, and I am glad to tell you that the methods here are tested all the time, meaning that I am 99,9% sure that they should work properly as you give it a try. If not, most VPN providers still have a full refund policy, so there is no risk in trying. But, again… the methods described here for the purpose of streaming Hulu from abroad are working properly, and should make you able to stream Hulu online, no matter where you might be in the world.
