Solved Watching U.S. streaming video when not in the U.S.

[broiyan]

I'd like to watch U.S. websites when travelling outside of the U.S. This lifehacker article on watching hulu outside of the U.S. might be relevant so I tried it and my Firefox browser still fails to show the streaming video. Any suggestions, please?

Edit: the lifehacker article from July 2010 http://lifehacker.com/5583515/access-hulu-from-outside-the-us-without-a-proxy-server

Is using a proxy server located in the U.S. out of the question?

Since the lifehacker instructions didn't work, I tried a U.S. server with Foxy Proxy Basic add-on and still I can't get through.

Hi.

I recently started using PrivateTunnel and it's the solution to what you're experiencing. They have a Windows installer... and it just works. You can watch Netflix, Hulu or whatever.

The first 100 Megs of data transfer are free, and then it costs $12 for 50 Gigs! It's cheap and it's great.

The other option would be to use Unblock-us. It's pretty good too.

Coincidentally I also settled on PrivateTunnel. I like that you pay for service; not by the month.
