How to Watch Hulu from Outside the US

Just like you cannot watch Disney Plus in Malaysia without a Disney Plus VPN, you cannot access Hulu outside the USA without a Hulu VPN. Hulu is an American online streaming service that cannot be accessed outside the USA due to content licensing and distribution policies.

We can count Netflix among these services as well because the streaming giant also has restrictions on its library. You cannot access a geo-blocked service anywhere else than its host region without a VPN.

A VPN will help you spoof your virtual location and it will enable you to bypass any restriction without being identified.

Follow these easy steps to watch Hulu outside the US with the help of a VPN:

Subscribe to a reliable VPN. (We recommend ExpressVPN)
Get connected to US server from to location list.
Visit the Hulu website and start streaming.

Hulu on Amazon FireStick Pricing

The pricing plans for Hulu will remain the same whether you are using it on a browser or on an Amazon FireStick.

hulu-packages

1. Hulu Basic – $5.99/mo

Hulu Basic offers almost all the things that are available in the other two packages, except for a few things. First of all, it costs only $5.99 per month, which is a quite reasonable price. Secondly, with Hulu basic package, you will be getting some ads while streaming, which is a downside of this package.

Moreover, the basic Hulu package does not allow you to download and watch any TV show or movie, unlike Hulu (No Ads) package. You will be able to share your screen with another person simultaneously but you will not be having Live TV access.

2. Hulu (No Ads) – $11.99/mo

Hulu (No Ads_ package is better than the basic package and it costs $11.99 per month. If you get this package, you will be away from any ads interfering with your streaming. Moreover, you can also download and watch any movie or TV show that you like, that's why it costs a little higher than the basic package. Nevertheless, you will still not get access to Live TV in this package.

3. Hulu + Live TV – $64.99/mo

In this package, you get Live TV and the feature to record Live TV with 50 hours of DVR cloud storage. This package costs $64.99 per month and has all the features that are not present in the rest of the two Hulu plans.

However, this package does not have a downloading option and if you subscribe to this package then you will be getting ads.

4. Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV – $70.99/mo

This package is almost like Hulu + Live TV plan, offering 65+ live and on-demand channels and 50 hours of DVR cloud storage. However, with this package, you can enjoy uninterrupted streaming because of its "no ads" feature and you can also download movies and TV shows for offline viewing.
