Accessing Hulu Website

[Mekong Bob]

Anyone in Chiang Mai watching Hulu (or other geo-restricted websites) via a VPN anonymous proxy?

I have read online that Hulu is now using new software which detects anonymous proxies and blocks access to their website.

Any VPN success stories out there?

Hi Bob, I use UnblockUs , its not a VPN so it works faster

and is easy to set up,costs only C$5 pm,has worked great

for me last few months

Can use it for Hulu,and other US channels plus BBC iPlayer

ITV player 4oD ect ect.

They offer 7 days trial for free , just google UnblockUs

Regards Worgeordie

ultrasurf works, just tried it myself, on 3bb connection from sansai. had success before with hotspot shield also, but recently switched to ultrasurf as this allows my magicjack to function also.

I don't usually use Hulu because of the ads, but I just tried it from BKK via one of my VPNs (a California IP) and it worked fine.

Sometimes an IP will be identified as VPN and get blocked, presumably they (i.e.Hulu) 'notice' a large number of connections from the same IP. BBC (used to) do the same. Find a VPN supplier that gives you a selection of different servers in the US and UK.

Also check that they allow you to send email while connected - some block this and it's a nuisance having to disconnect to send an important email.

DAMMIT! I just tried to post this very reply, having forgotten to disconnect my US VPN and remembered that IP is blocked by ThaiVisa - presumably some banned member was posting via the same address. Another point to bear in mind when trying out VPNs

I use https://12vpn.com/ on my iphone and iPad to access all the UK apps (BBC iplayer/4OD etc.) and it works great

I at Chiang Mai and using unblock-us too. No problem accessing Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, Slacker.

Out of topic: Anyone have a hulu plus account or willing to help me to pay for the monthly subscription? I dont have US credit card to pay and Hulu.com only accept US credit card. Plus, those virtual cc are no longer working.

Do they accept Paypal? I do not think that you need a US credit card for Paypal.

Witopia.net's VPN services, including servers in California, work fine with Hulu..

And even better and faster, they have a private proxy service members can use that provides the necessary IP location without all the bandwidth drains of VPN... The proxy is included as part of their VPN membership plans.

In the past, Hulu did have quite a reputation for seeking out and trying to block various VPN services... But I haven't heard as much about that lately.

They dont accept Paypal.

Their gift card also need to enter valid US CC when use them. Lame

Hulu plus has nightmare protection with their CC's. Even providers such as entropay and usunlocked cards will not work with it.

Only card that works was one of those prepaid visa cards that you buy in some US stores.

HotspotShield works from DownUnder right now.
