Connect to a VPN server and start streaming Hulu privately.
Public Wi-Fi hotspots make internet access easy no matter where you are. But they’re notorious for lacking security and being hubs for hackers and bad actors. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts all device traffic and hides your IP (Internet Protocol) address, which prevents third parties from snooping on your data and protects your privacy on any network.
Video streaming uses quite a lot of data. As a result, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) may decide to throttle your connection speed whenever you’re taking part in data-heavy activities. When you connect to a VPN, your ISP can’t see what you’re doing online, so it won’t have a reason to slow your connection down.
Data about your activity, even as basic as the shows and movies you watch, can be used to create targeted ads or even elaborate phishing attempts. Using a VPN lets you keep all your activity private, which means you’re much less likely to fall for a trap set up by advertisers or bad actors online.
Hulu may not work with free VPN services, but it works well with most paid providers like Surfshark. However, Hulu doesn’t tolerate attempts to falsify your location. So, make sure to only stream Hulu when connected to a VPN server in your home country.
Hulu has a vast collection of Hulu Originals — shows and movies that are only available on Hulu, providing a unique value to the platform.
In addition to having hundreds of TV shows in its library, Hulu also offers access to a vast list of networks, including Animal Planet, Fox, Discovery, Disney Channel, and loads more.
Never miss your favorite team play with Hulu, offering you access to a wide range of sports events right from your device.
It wouldn’t be a streaming service without movies. And there are many of them on Hulu, from award-winning blockbusters to small-budget indie gems.
Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon — Hulu ensures kids never run out of quality entertainment.
Get your nostalgia fix by tuning into some timeless classics on Hulu. The Golden Girls, Cheers, and Frasier are all just a click of a button away.
With thousands of servers with 10Gbps ports spread across a worldwide server network, you will always find an uncrowded server nearby. This ensures a fast VPN connection whenever you use Surfshark.
A VPN is good for more than just watching Hulu privately. Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections, so you can keep all your devices protected at the same time without having to count them.
We don’t track what you do online. While encryption protects you from snoopers, our no-logs policy ensures that whatever you do online stays private from Surfshark as well.
Your privacy is always our top priority. That’s why Surfshark uses industry-leading AES-256 and ChaCha20 encryption algorithms.
VPN protocols significantly impact the speed and security of your connection. Surfshark uses OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard, all of which can provide a fast and secure VPN experience.
Your regular Hulu library may not be available whenever you travel abroad. However, you can connect to a VPN server in your home country and access Hulu as if you had never left.
