If you’re looking for a way to signup for or simply access Hulu Plus Outside US, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re simply looking to watch the standard version of Hulu outside US you can read this guide.
Many of you will love even the standard version of Hulu but I guarantee you’ll be begging for Hulu Plus once you experience how awesome Hulu actually is.
For this reason I decided to create this guide to help you access Hulu outside the US from literally anywhere in the world. And no, this is not a joke. This actually works – I personally guarantee it!
Hulu vs. Hulu Plus
In case you don’t already know, there is actually a significant different between Hulu and Hulu Plus. Hulu Plus is a subscription service that costs $7.99 / month which is well worth the price once you understand what you get with your subscription. Hulu plus is the only internet streaming site to offer full seasons, both current and old seasons, of almost every major hit TV show you’d want to want.
Here’s a breakdown of the major differences between standard Hulu and Hulu Plus.
- More Content – the standard version of Hulu only allows you to watch the latest five episodes of a show while Hulu Plus allows you the access entire seasons and all previous seasons and episodes. With Hulu Plus you’d literally be able to start a new show from the Pilot episode and watch till you hit the latest episode.
- Device Access – Hulu Plus can be accessed from many more devices including, Internet TV’s, iOS devices, PS3, Xbox, and even more devices like Apple TV and Roku. Standard Hulu is only available through an internet browser on your computer.
- Video Quality – Hulu Plus comes with High Definition streaming capabilities which is a huge Plus <–see what I did there 😉
But the biggest reason to get Hulu Plus is definitely to access an entire show from season 1 episode 1 at any time, on demand. Again, with the standard non-plus version of Hulu you can only access the most recent five episodes.
Take this example with the hit show “The Office.” You’re able to access all 9 seasons which means you’ll have on demand access to 174 episodes at any moment. All you have to do is click “Play.”
Getting Started
Before I go any further into this guide I’m going to do my best to make getting setup as easy for you as possible. This means I’m going to give you two options for and the one choose will depend on how much work you want to do before you’re able to start watching Hulu Plus.
Option 1 is a complete package were everything is done and setup for you. I would recommend this package if you’re nervous about the instructions below or if you just don’t feel like setting this up on your own.
Option 2 is to follow the comprehensive guide I’ve created for you below which is really not terrible difficult to follow, it just takes time.
Guys – the choice is entirely up to you. Below you’ll find instructions for both options! Enjoy!
Option 2: The Do it Yourself Guide
The first thing you’ll need to do is go register for a “Virtual Visa Card” from Entropay.com. This is super easy to do! The minimum deposit is $25 and they only charge a 5% service charge which is not too bad.
After you’ve signed up for Entropay you’ll want to go to www.paypal.com and register for a free US PayPal account. Remember to choose United States as your country or this won’t work.
Next thing you want to do is link your Entropay Visa card to your US PayPal account.
After the card is linked with the PayPal account you’ll need to sign up for your VPN account before you can head over to Hulu.com and signup.
ExpressVPN is the service we’ll use in this example. I’ve been personally using this service for over 2 years and this is the service I recommend. I’ve included a list of a couple other VPN services that will also work at the end of this post.
Go get a ExpressVPN account here.
After you’ve signed up for your account head to the members area and download the software for your computer.
After you’ve downloaded the software you can easily turn it on by entering your username, password, and selecting a US IP address.
This is what ExpressVPN looks like on a windows operating system.
Once you’re connected to the VPN, head over to Hulu.com and signup for a Plus account. Make sure you select PayPal as the payment option.
You will be able to sign up without any problems at this point.
