When you try to access Hulu from Taiwan, you will find that unless you use a VPN to get an American IP address, you are blocked. This is a US site and it is blocked from use in countries aside from the US and its territories, aside from its Japanese site. Although there were plans to expand its territory or create versions for other countries, this has not happened as of yet. This means that you still need to install the virtual private network on your device. The good news is that this is not a difficult process.

Installing the VPN

The installation part of the process is very simple. Choosing the provider may be slightly more difficult. You need to find one that allows you to get a US IP address plus the level of bandwidth and speed to use Hulu properly. Not every provider gives you enough to watch American television online without interruption. Those that do generally mention it on their site and these are the ones to look for. The average cost for such as service is about $10 per month.
