“We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States. If you’re inside the United States and believe you’re receiving this message in error, please contact Hulu’s support team.”
If you are wondering how Hulu is able to detect your location, the answer is simple: By looking at your IP address. Each IP address assigned by ISPs shows the location of its user.
