Amazon Fire Tv Stick is one of the few portable devices that supports Hulu. But if you are here then you probably already know that. What you are looking for is how to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick outside of the US. That’s the big question, right? And it makes sense that you want to watch or use Hulu. No other service compares to Hulu when it comes to the speed that TV shows are released on it.
In order to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, there are 3 vital steps you need to take.
Firstly, you need to make the Amazon Appstore think that you are in the US so that it shows you the apps that are available in America as the Hulu app only available in the US.
Secondly, you need to Trick Hulu in the registration process so that it thinks that you live in the US as otherwise, you won’t be able to use the service.
Thirdly, you need to make Hulu think that you are in the US every single second that you are using their service.
After that, you will be able to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick outside of the US.
If you can’t succeed in this step, you won’t be able to install the Hulu app.
When you shop on Amazon, if you are in the UK, you shop from the UK version. If you are in the US, you shop from the American version. This works the same with the Amazon Fire TV Stick. If you are not in the US, you will not be using an American account. And that automatically eliminates your ability to install Hulu.
In order to install Hulu, you need to have an American Amazon Appstore, and in order to have an American Amazon Appstore, you need to click on Manage Your Content and Devices link we just provided. Then you need to click on the Settings tab followed by pressing Country Settings followed by Change. Lastly, you need to provide an American address along with a valid zip code. For this, it’s best to simply search for an address generator on Google. After you provide that, click Update, and you will be asked to re-register your account on your Fire TV Stick again.
Before you install Hulu, you must also make your device think that you are in the US. This also applies to making Hulu think that you are in the US. And since you can’t be in the US physically if you don’t live there, you have to be there virtually.
This is the most important step if you want to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick outside of the US. Not the hardest but the most important.
In order to be in the US virtually, you need to use a VPN which is a virtual private network. PrivateVPN currently offers two working American servers when it comes to Hulu. You only need one of them to make Hulu work. Of course, we offer many other servers for other stuff such as Netflix.
To get PrivateVPN working, first, you need an account. Do you see that Buy button on the top-right of the screen? Click on it and go through our 3-step registration process. Yep. It’s quick. And don’t worry, unlike Facebook, when we say that we care about privacy, we actually mean it. And even if we didn’t, we are based in Sweden, and Sweden has great privacy laws.
Oh, and you also have 30 days to request a refund if you find that our service does not work.
Either way, after you sign-up, you need to search for our app in the Amazon Appstore. You should know how to do that. You can either do it with your voice by pressing the microphone button on your remote, or you can search for our app via the search bar.
After you download it, provide your account details, and connect to one of our working Hulu servers.
It should say Hulu when you get to the section with American servers.
When connected, go to the Amazon Appstore and download Hulu. And if you want to use it, you need to have PrivateVPN on at all times. Otherwise, the service might stop working.
If you want to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick outside of the US, this is not the most important part, but it is the hardest for sure. Why? As it involves you using an American card. Only American issued cards will work with Hulu. If you can’t get an American card, forget about using Hulu.
The best solution for you will probably be getting a prepaid card from the US. That will require you to wait but will be the easiest way to get a card that does not involve setting up a bank account. You could try to get a virtual card, but those have a much lower success rate. Ideally, ask a friend from the US if you can use theirs. Or get them to set up an account for you. These are your 3 options. Do what’s best for you, but you need to do one of these. You won’t be able to set up an account with an American card, and if you want to watch Hulu on the Amazon Fire TV Stick outside of the US, you just don’t have another choice. Find someone that has an American card or get one yourself.
Apart from that, when registering, make sure to provide an American zip code and address for that. Once again, use a generator on the internet for that.
After that, provided you are connected to a Hulu server on PrivateVPN, you should be ready to go!
You need to be in the US virtually via PrivateVPN. You need to switch the country of your Amazon Appstore so that you can download Hulu. And lastly, you need an American card to make an account on Hulu. And then you are good to go.
