Sites like Pandora and Hulu block IP addresses not originating from the United States. The solution for the past 6 months or so has been to use Hotspot Shield which proxies your IP address behind an US address.
As of today, this no longer works. When you load up a video, you get the following:
Pandora still works thankfully…
NOTE: There seems to be a solution to this problem – thanks to the comment below! If you clean out your browser cache and then reconnect to hotspot shield it seems to work. I suspect this is a temporary solution until Hulu starts blocking this new batch of servers.
When is the old world media going to get that the Internet is global and find a solution for all this rights territory nonsense?

Damnit!
Right when I buy a DVI->RCA adapter for my TV for use with Hulu. :(
Anybody come up with a solution that works now? This is a bummer.
I always had thought that it's illegal to force someone to identify themselves on the web in USA
I live in Canada and was able to use Hulu via Hotspot Shield (a free vpn app) yesterday.
Here's my solution.
Looks like Hulu found another way to block proxies/vpn. Even after blocking revsci.net cookies, many can't watch the videos with Hotspot Shield.
I'll keep looking into this.
It works most of the time for me. If doesn't I disconnect, wait for a bit then reconnect and try another browser. It does seem to slow down a lot more. Hot shield throttling hulu?
i tried refresh cache still didn't work why doesn't work anymore it totaly sux
