Is Hulu being shut down?

Hulu will transition into Disney+ by the end of 2026. It won’t be offered as a standalone app — content and subscriptions will continue within Disney+.

Outside the US, Hulu content may appear on Disney+ without requiring a separate subscription, but Live TV and some originals may not be available due to licensing agreements.

Is Hulu only available in the US?

Hulu operates primarily in the US. The Japanese version of Hulu is a separate service with different content. Some Hulu content is available outside the US through Disney+, but limited by region.

Does Proton VPN work with Hulu?

Yes. All Plus servers are optimized for streaming. If you’re a US-based subscriber traveling abroad, connecting to a US server [/vpn-servers/usa] helps maintain access to your usual Hulu content, including regional channels, sports, and news. Important: Hulu ties content availability to your account’s home region. You will need a valid Hulu subscription in that region to access its content library.

Why choose Proton VPN for Hulu?

Enjoy Hulu live or on-demand anywhere

With Proton VPN’s Plus servers, you can easily watch your favorite Hulu content from hotels, airports, offices, or anywhere else you need to go.

Experience ultra-fast streaming

ISPs and local WiFi networks sometimes throttle streaming traffic. Proton VPN encrypts your data, so they can't see or slow your activity. Our VPN Accelerator boosts VPN connection speeds by up to 400%, keeping playback smooth on paid plans.

Watch with complete privacy

As a no-logs VPN, Proton doesn’t track what you watch or do online. Your ISP, network admins, and third parties can’t see your streaming activity — it stays between you and your screen.

Stream securely on every network

Shared WiFi at hotels, airports, and cafes exposes your data to other users on the same network. Strong encryption and secure protocols keep your connection private and your information safe while you stream.

Stream on all your devices

From your phone on the commute to your TV at home, Proton VPN works across all your devices — with up to 10 simultaneous connections.
