Free proxy servers are usually very slow and do not allow you to use javascript, flash and any online videos or even files larger than a couple of hundreds of kilobytes.
How to Watch Hulu and Fancast Outside the US for FREE!
Hulu and Fancast are free web-site allowing you to watch legal high quality movies, TV shows and TV episodes for FREE! You can even get watch the latest episodes for popular TV shows like Lost, The Simpsons, South Park, House, and Prison Break – all without paying anything for a software or a service - it is all FREE!
Hulu provides the most comprehensive selection of premium TV programming across all genres and formats – TV shows, TV episodes, feature films, clips, and more. It is supported by major television networks including NBC, FOX, Bravo, CNET, Comedy Time, E! Entertainment Television, National Geographic, Sci Fi Network, USA Network etc. Hulu is a supreme source of free legal online TV streaming.
The only problem is that most Hulu TV shows and movies are not available outside the USA. So if you live outside the U.S. or just traveling/working abroad, you will get a message that these videos are not availably outside the U.S.:
Code:
Unfortunately this video is currently not available in your country or region. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The only way to overcome geographical restrictions is to find a way to show Hulu that you have a U.S. IP address.
- A free VPN for watching online video outside USA
А free VPN (Virtual Private Network) service allows you to fool online video web-sites by showing an IP address of a server in the U.S. Hotspot Shield is the most popular free VPN service.
The biggest problem is that too many people used to watch video from Hulu outside the USA, so Hulu started banning IP addresses that Hotspot Shield used. But you can use the service to watch many other videos geographically restricted to the U.S.
To use Hotspot Shield, you need to download software for Windows and install it. Then launch it, connect to the VPN and you can use your browser to test web-sites geographically restricted to the USA. Note that Hotspot Shield is limited to 5 GB of monthly traffic.
- A paid VPN for watching online videos outside USA
This method is not free but works perfectly for watching online streaming videos from Hulu, Fancast, ABC, CBS, NBC,...
HappyVPN offers a VPN software that tunnels your connection through their server in the USA, the U.K. or Germany. This means that you can use their software to watch videos from Hulu, Fancast,... or from any other web-site which is geographically restricted to the U.S. Their monthly plan for watching online videos from US web-sites costs $14.99 / month (you can get a discount if you pay for 3 months or more). You can also use their $19.99 "Watch TV: UK + US" plan for watching video from the U.K. and the USA.
I tried many other paid VPNs, but I can recommend few of them for watching online videos. Most cheap one buffer all the time especially during peak times. But HappyVPN, StrongVPN, and HotSpotVPN worked fine for me, especially the first two.
