Hulu Blocks Canadians (and others) from using Hotspot Shield

imageAfter years of putting it off I finally installed and learned how to use Hotspot Shield last week. It worked wonderfully.  I was all set to write a blog post about it. Wouldn’t you know it, within a week Hulu has found a way to block it!

imageI just tested it and indeed I’m blocked. I’ll still use Hotspot Shield for the plethora of other free services not available in Canada (eg: Pandora, last.fm) for so long as it works. But, once again, it sucks to be a new media enthusiast when you live in Canada!

Until hulu comes to Canada (if ever) we still have TV streaming from CTV and Global.

  1. It’s costs money but try purevpn.com. I think they’ll give you a trial if you ask. VPNs to US,UK,Canada, and Germany. 6 bucks a month or less is worth it I think. I've been checking out UK media with it.

  3. Glad to see a lawyer complaining about this Hulu move! I'm sure lawyers are behind the ban! 🙂
