Hulu is only working with a few VPN providers. Check Hulu for different countries. Also Free VPNs are not going to work with Hulu.

They are worth it, stable, fast, and secure. I use HostNOC Business VPN. Their best deal is something like $5/month for 12.

Originally to speed-up access to web-pages. When a user downloaded a page, it was stored for a while on the proxy.
Re: Hulu and using a proxy
Why should you use a proxy when you have the best country vpns to use in each country? Proxy just spoofs your location whereas a quality VPN encrypts your online communication as well, along with changing your IP address. You should always access online services like HULU, BBC Iplayer, or Netflix using a VPN because it is the better option of the two for circumventing geographical restrictions.
I have explained it to you in detail, the choice is yours.

Re: Hulu and using a proxy
VPNs allow you to stream movies and shows from around the world that are not available in your country. They also let you bypass geo-restrictions on streaming sites like Netflix or Hulu, as well as accessing region restricted content by connecting with a suitable server. Are these benefits enough reason for people to rely heavily on VPNs? Absolutely!
Re: Hulu and using a proxy
Using VPNs to bypass regional restrictions is in violation of your user agreement with the provider (such as Netflix). The providers are getting smarter about catching such actions, and your account could be cancelled. Those regional restrictions are in place for legal reasons, as the providers often only have licensed the content to stream to certain locations. If they find someone bypassing their restrictions, they could be libel for fines or even legal charges if they don't take action.

Virtually every Internet user is behind a firewall of some sort. If not directly on your computer, your Internet router/modem is providing a barrier between the public Internet and your network. But the way they are generally configured is that when a computer makes a request to the Internet the router permits the reply to come through. But it is possible to block certain web sites and/or specific protocols from access. You might check your router settings to see if it has any sort of site restrictions configured.

Re: Hulu and using a proxy
It's been a long time but, totally get the Hulu struggle from the UK! I had a similar setup. Try configuring your proxy settings in Serviio directly. It worked like a charm for me, and no more full traffic tunneling. Also, use quality proxies (better from this list: best proxies). Happy streaming!
