It looks like the only decent way to do it, is to purchase a private VPN account. I highly doubt hulu can ban them all. I purchased mine from <a href="http://www.hidemynet.com" rel="nofollow">www.hidemynet.com</a> , they provide UK and US servers currently, so I can also login to the UK server to access online video offered in the UK :). Like, Iplayer, Channel 4 on demand, bbc, etc. And it's only 5$/month, beats having to deal with the hassles of using hotspot shield (which is now banned anyway).hulududeSat, 18 Jul 2009 03:59:09 -0000http://boxcutters.net/blog/2008/10/24/watch-hulu-and-others-from-outside-the-us/#comment-4981239Just browsing to hear what happened to Ross, and stumbled across this post... Hotspot shield is a great work around for hulu, but after months of using it for 30 Rock and The Office i've noticed one trick, never close the hotspot shield banner ads - your connection slows right down. this is not really that big a deal since you dont see the ads if you watch hulu in full screen. <br><br>Actually, when i first started using hulu months ago, hulu's own ad server would see i was using some kind of anonymous vpn thing, and i guess targeted generic geek ads to me from cisco and the like. today it always shows the stupid blank screen that tells me to disable an ad-blocker (i dont use an ad blocker!) whats annoying about this is the 'disable your ad blocker screen' is a full 30 seconds longs, the ads used to be much shorter. lé sigh.FulltimeCasualMon, 08 Dec 2008 18:15:24 -0000
