Hulu was one of the first online video-on-demand services. It is split between Disney and NBC, with Disney owning the majority share. Its breakout show has been The Handmaid’s Tale.

Proton VPN users can watch all their favorite shows on Hulu no matter where they are!

Additionally, Proton VPN also enables you to stream Disney+(new window), HBO Max(new window), Netflix(new window), and Amazon Prime Video(new window).

How to watch Hulu with Proton VPN

Connect to any Plus server located in the United States. Plus servers are available for Plus, Unlimited, Family Visionary Plan subscribers. For the fastest and most reliable connection, please connect to the server that is closest to your current location. To find the nearest servers to you, check the full list of our servers(new window).

On your Android TV, connecting to the United States will automatically connect you to a Plus server if you have the right subscription.

Unfortunately, streaming Hulu on a mobile device (Android or iOS) outside the United States requires the Hulu mobile app, and to download the app, you need access to the US version of the App or Google Play store. You will also need to register a US credit card with your account.

Proton VPN does not condone the use of our VPN service to bypass copyright regulations.

Step 1:

Get a VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited subscription

If you already have a VPN Plus, Proton Unlimited(new window), or Visionary (legacy users only) account, you can skip to step 2.

If you’re a new user, sign up for Proton VPN.

If you already have a Free plan, upgrade your account by signing in and selecting VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited from your account Subscription page.
