How to Watch Hulu Outside the US

Hulu is an American streaming service that offers movies and TV shows such as Family Guy, Seinfeld, South Park, Empire, SNL, Mindy Project, and CSI. The popular video-on-demand channel, however, is geoblocked outside the US. This means you cannot stream any of its videos in the UK, Germany, Canada, France, Australia, or anywhere else abroad.

That is unless you use a Smart DNS proxy service like Unlocator. Once set up, you’ll be able to watch Hulu on your Android, iPhone, iPad, Xbox, PS4, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, PC, Mac, Roku, Chromecast, Wii, and Smart TV. Check out the setup guides and videos for all these devices below. If you want to watch Hulu on multiple devices, you can configure Unlocator DNS on your router instead of each device individually.

How Can I Watch Hulu Using Unlocator?

Once Hulu detects that you are outside the US, it will block you from watching any content. Unlocator allows you to hide your true location on any of the channels we support. Thus, these channels will be tricked into thinking you are located in American territories. Unlocator simply redirects the parts of your traffic which reveal your true location without changing your IP address.

Consequently, you will not suffer any drops in your Internet speed. By keeping your local IP address, you will continue to access websites that are exclusively available in your region.

All you need to get started is an Unlocator account and then follow the setup guides for your device.

Hulu Account Without A US Credit Card

Hulu is a premium service offering present and past seasons of shows from ABC, Comedy Central, The CW, FOX, NBC, MTV, and Univision to connected devices for $7.99 monthly. The sign-up process requires using a US credit card. Of course, since you are located overseas, it is difficult to get hold of one. Luckily there is a workaround. You can use these steps to create a Hulu account without the need for an American credit card.

Using Unlocator VPN to Unblock Hulu

You can also use Unlocator VPN to get access to Hulu while outside the US. Our VPN apps are compatible for Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows.

Unlike Smart DNS our VPN will encrypt all of your traffic and send it via the server of your choice. In the case of Hulu, you need to select one of our US servers. Once you have done so you can simply open the Hulu app or website and stream away as if located in the US.

While both Smart DNS and VPN will unblock Hulu there might be cases where you want to choose one method over the other. For an instance, it’s a must to use VPN if you are connected to public WiFi at a cafe, hotel, airport, or another public venue. This is because you are an easy target for hackers when sharing unsecured WiFi with strangers. Criminals use these types of networks to sniff unsecured data, which might include passwords and other personal information.

If you plan to unblock Hulu at home on a Roku, Apple TV, or something of that nature then Smart DNS will do just fine.
