Who says that you always have to be in the US? Hulu does if you want to watch Hulu. That’s why you are here, to figure out how to watch Hulu when not in the US in 2019 as perhaps you want to travel the world. Perhaps you merely want to go to Canada. How can you take your Hulu subscription with you? It’s not that hard, and we’ll help you with that today so that you can watch Hulu in any location on the planet.
And if you don’t live in the US and want to figure out how to set up Hulu outside of the US, we have guides on that too, and any will work, even if it’s not intended for your location.
We are assuming that you already have a Hulu account along with a Hulu app. If not, as someone that lives in the US or did live there, you need to use your American card to sign up while also being connected to the American app store. If you don’t have an American store on your device or don’t have an American card, check out our guide about setting up Hulu when not in the US as that also gets more in detail about creating the account.
The problem with Hulu is that while Hulu is far ahead of the likes of Netflix when it comes to TV shows and airing them relatively quickly, that comes at a price of being focused only on the US.
And that means that it doesn’t matter if you are the most loyal customer and normally live in the US. If you are not in the US, Hulu won’t work for you. That goes down to Hulu not having rights to show any of the content it shows outside of the US. What can you do to fight that? You just need to make Hulu think that you are still in the US even if you aren’t.
There’s a way to virtually be in the US without being there.
How? By using a VPN which is a virtual private network that allows you to virtually be in the US or other locations around the world.
You can be in the US by using just about any VPN. But to get Hulu so that you can watch Hulu when not in the US, you need a VPN with servers that support Hulu. And not every VPN does support Hulu.
PrivateVPN is one of the services that do. It’s also great for Amazon Prime, and it the service with the widest support for Netflix.
And it works on both Apple devices, Android devices, Amazon Fire devices, and desktops.
What if you are in China or any other country with censorship. You might not be able to use a VPN at all because it won’t work. It’s possible to detect when a VPN is being used, which allows countries to block them. If you want to watch Hulu when not in the US but in a country with censorship, you need to have Stealth VPN which is a feature that PrivateVPN has. Stealth VPN allows you to blend in with normal traffic on the internet meaning that it won’t be detected as a VPN.
Just because you aren’t in the US does not mean that your Hulu subscription should go to waste. If you follow these instructions, it will never go to waste, regardless of where you are.
