Problem: International Block On Hulu

Temporary Solution: Hotspot Shield

After breaking down and paying the 9.99/day fee for internet access (YES, you would pay it too); I was excited to watch the new 30 Rock and The Office episodes. Unfortunately, Hulu is not accessible in Canada. It’s bad enough not being able to see the shows when they air, but to be denied Hulu. No sir. I started seeking solutions with my slow, over priced hotel connection. After a quick Google search I found a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that connected and assigned my laptop an United States IP address. This service allowed me to access sites that are strictly limited to American residents. The only draw back is the ads that are placed at the top of the browser. They can be easily closed and don’t effect video playback at all.

If you live in Canada, and need a temporary Hulu fix. Check out Hotspot Shield.
