When you are located outside US, videos from Hulu are inaccesible to you. If you try to see a certain video you get the following message:
We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States. For more information on Hulu’s international availability, click here.
Hulu’s international availability refers to:
Q : Why can’t I watch your videos from outside the U.S.?
For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu’s growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We’re encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.
So, Hulu is not available to users outside United States. What can be done about this? Change your IP address to a US one.
Here is a video, via Tinkernut.com, on how to watch videos on Hulu using Hotspot Shield.
Enjoy!
P.S. If Hotspot Shield does not work for you, then check a premium VPN service like HideMyAss, ibVPN or IAPS Security Services.

Too slow when I do it!
@quagmires – You can also try GPass, UltraSurf or IP Privacy.
You don’t have to wait for hulu to allow international viewers! Just buy a simple vpn… It’s what I did for my travels around the world. I purchased mine from http://www.hidemynet.com at only 5$ per month, they had instant activation so I was able to start watching immediately.
