Have you ever gotten the error code 3(-996) on Hulu? I have. What is it about? What is the solution?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"hulu
Do you get this error message on Hulu?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am not a tech expert, but I know that I have received the error code 3(-996) on Hulu. I get the error message when I use an Android device, but why I get it I do not really understand. I have had several suspicions related to the error code, but none seem to be correct.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • I first thought it was related to a VPN connection, but it wasn’t.<\/li>\n
  • I then thought it was related to my SmartDNS connection, but it wasn’t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How do I know? Because I later used another Android device, and could stream Hulu content with no problem. I then tried to stream Hulu on an iPad, and could do so with no problem. I tried to uninstall and re-install the Hulu application on my Android phone, but that did not work<\/p>\n

    What is the conclusion about error 3(-996)?<\/h2>\n

    I really have no clue what is causing the error 3(-996) on my Android device. My suspicion is it is connected to some sort of error on my phone, but I do not really get what kind of error.<\/p>\n

    Have you got any clue? I would love to hear your comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
