Question: How can I watch TV and movies from HULU if I am outside the USA?

Many of the best media sites like Netflix, BBC iPlayer and Hulu check your IP address to verify if you are outside the United States - USA or United Kingdom - UK (if your are trying to watch BBC iPlayer).

If your IP address shows you are outside the respective county, they will BLOCK you from watching their videos.

I travel often outside the US and I had often thought about how I could change my IP address to an America one when abroad. I came across a website called Access Unblocked VPN that showed me how to do it. BAsically you will need a service called VPN (Virtual Private Network) that will allow you to get a new IP address in the US and UK.

The great thing about this is that it is simple and works!

Before using a VPN to overcome internet censorship, I knew that there were complicated ways to set up proxies to access BBC over the net. I needed the most simple solution that was possible.

Yet, I tried to use free proxies, but they just ended up being a waste of time since a proxy service is designed to cloak your identity and get around firewall at school or work. A Proxy server is not designed to allow you to watch free Online Internet TV like Netflix or Hulu.

I then tried some software like Hotspot Shield that also proved to be a complete wasted of time since HULU and Netflix immediately detected that I was outside the United States. So the verdict: Hotspot shield is USELESS!

I suggest that you check out Access Unblocked VPN as they have excellent tips and suggestions on how to watch your TV from anywhere in the world http://www.accessunblockedvpn.com
