    baad bad app. slow as a mollusk (I downloaded it to watch a live show on justin.tv) I tested it on a couple of sites too, it just hogged my CPU. Second, I know it's free but its ads were auto-clicking (!) YGBK

    Update: yes you can watch hulu with Hotspot Shield running :)

  • LucasJV fanatic

    Can I watch hulu outside the US with this tool?

  • ogre expert

    Bypass corporate firewalls, watch and listen to US only content, download US only programs and much more.
    Install a VPN service. Adware.

    Awesome considering im living in China allows me to access xanga and such though. There is a certain security issue.

    I guess it works for Hulu but it doesn't come with an uninstaller and it's rather unclear what exactly is installed. Since it sets up a VPN to some box in the US i wouldn't use this on a box you need any kind of security for.

    Overall:

    Works great if you want to watch hulu.com (this app gives you an american ip adres).
    Does give you some ads and isn't super duper fast but its much faster than downloading an episode of a tv series via bittorrent (most of the time)
