As you probably know already, Hulu is a great place to watch US TV shows. Also you know that Hulu is only available for users located in United States. The problem can be easily overcome by using proxies (cheaper, but not always working) or VPN services (a little bit more expensive).
Today, I found about a trick that makes watching Hulu from outside US even simpler. A small Firefox plugins modifies one of HTTP headers and makes Hulu ignore that you are not located in US.
Here are the steps that need to be done:
Step 1. Install Modify Headers add-on on your Firefox browser.
Step 2. In Firefox, click Tools menu and then Modify Headers. In the new window, type X-Forwarded-For in first box, 12.13.14.15 in second box and leave the third empty. Click Add button.
Step 3. Click on Configuration button and check Always On.
Step 4. Go to Hulu.com and load a video. It should work. It does for me:
Even this is a good news, I don’t believe it will last. In the meanwhile, enjoy!

works great! thank you
works flawlessly.
thank you
Really works, thanks!!
doesn’t work anymore for me as per 10 august. it was fun while it lasted.
It works perfectly on Vevo, but it doesn’t stream video in from Hulu. It says I’m out of the US. Well, looks like it isn’t as good as you think.
No, this trick does not work ! I tried 12.13.14.15 and other ip’s and get message of you are in the USA !
Another workable tricks ?

@Brian Murphy – It seems that does not work anymore. It still remains the VPN solution.
Probably it would have been still working if the guy did not tell that to the public using this web page.
The guys from Hulu find out that they have a major missing in their security check where the visitors are coming from and they fixed it.
Revealing secrets to the public does not serve the public, but to their oppressors !
does not work.
I use UnoTelly. It’s a specialized way to unblock Hulu and other restrictions. (http://www.unotelly.com)
While you can’t do the normal VPN stuffs like anonymous browsing, it’s a lot cheaper than VPN if all you want is to watch Hulu outside USA.
damn it. its not working anymore. I’ve missed. I guess im gonna get VPN then. Thanks anyway.
Works great here in Germany! Thx so much!!! This is truely awesome
@Chris –
