Watching Hulu in Europe is a piece of cake. However,You Need A Vpn To Watch Hulu In Europe Articles you need to get the right information because a lot of what's out there is outdated or pure advertisement.  The first step to watch Hulu in Europe is to get a VPN. There is really no other way around it, unless you're a super-geek with technology skills like Stephen Hawking, in which case you can stop reading now.  My powers are no match for you. However, if you're a normal guy who just doesn't get what a vpn is and how it can help you watch Hulu in Europe then I've got some answers for you.A vpn was not designed specifically to watch Hulu in Europe. It was, in the beginning, something used for businesses to keep their employees on a leash while they were outside of the office. It meant that employees who were away form the main computer at the office could use their mobile phones or other mobile devices to connect to information and stuff back at work without worrying about it being hacked.  By encrypting information that was being sent, they could be a part of the servers back at work without actually having to physically be there. Isn't that nice?This works to help us watch Hulu in Europe in that we use servers in the USA to get an American IP address. When our information is encrypted, our actual IP address becomes hidden and we then gain a "virtual" IP address assigned to us by the server we're connected to.  Hulu can't detect where we're coming from - they just see the American server, meaning that they'll stream video to us. Yay!So now that you how a vpn helps you to watch Hulu in Europe, you're probably thinking that this is going to cost you something. Unfortunately, this is going to cost you a few dollars a month.  There are free services available, but in general they are over flooded and will be blocked if they aren't already.  About two years ago there was a service called Hotspot Shield (it's still around) that you could access Hulu for free with. They offer a free anonymous proxy. However, it became so popular that Hulu started blocking all anonymous proxies. Luckily vpn's are harder to detect so they haven't blocked them yet, but they still have the ability to block individual IP addresses, meaning that if free vpn services become too popular they can just block the whole IP address and render it useless. This is the reason you should man-up and invest in a paid vpn.Finding a vpn to watch Hulu in Europe is not hard. Most services know that people are trying to watch TV or access IP restricted sites so they'll be forthcoming with information about whether or not their service can help you. Most of them can.  Pick a service that suits your tastes, make sure they have servers in America, and get to it!
