Are you're an American expat who's living abroad and want to catch up on your American TV? Perhaps you're learning English. Or maybe you spend some time in America and just fell in love with American TV programs. Whatever the reason, the amount of people wishing they could watch Hulu in Europe is growing every day. Hulu, a relatively new site and company has a bright future ahead of them.
However, only in The USA
Hulu, for the time being, because of copyrights, deals, and other business-stuff that most people who wish they could watch Hulu in Europe don't really care about - won't broadcast outside The USA. How could they deprave us of Lost? And Family Guy. And CSI. Sure, maybe we could find some pirate copy lurking with viruses. But we want quality TV streaming live, and free.
Please?!
Well, there's good news. Whether or not Hulu likes it, people are starting to watch Hulu in Europe. They're using what's called a vpn. A vpn is something that you can download of the internet for a few dollars a month, and you basically get to borrow the address of a computer in the USA. These things were originally used to secure and encrypt important transactions and transfer of private information of businesses. Employees could connect to the office anywhere without worrying about hackers and identity thefts. Now, even the average Joe uses them to protect himself from identity theft and internet privacy. We can also use them to watch Hulu in Europe.
When you download a vpn and sign into a 'server' somewhere else in the world, you get an IP address (the location of your computer) of the Server. So, if your server is in Hong Kong, you get a HK IP address. If it's in America, then you get and IP address in the USA and you can watch Hulu in Europe!
If you're going to watch Hulu in Europe with your iPhone, iPad or other iProducts then you're going to get what's called a PPTP or L2TP protocol. It's for mobile devices. If you're using you PC or Mac, you can also use these, but you'd better go with an SSL/Open vpn. If you've got some other crazy devices, in general you might want to ask the support team of the place you buy from. However, most places offer a week money back policy so it shouldn't be a problem.
