In addition to Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, Hulu is another major streaming provider in the USA. The service is officially not available in Germany, but with a little trick you can still use it. We’ll show you how it works.
If the Netflix Deutschland or Amazon Prime Video range is not enough for you, you have a bad hand in Germany. Although there is another competitor in the German-speaking area in the form of Sky, this service does not have all the content on offer either.
In the USA there is also Hulu in addition to the well-known suppliers. A streaming portal supported by the major TV production houses ABC, NBC and FOX. Accordingly, the service also has a different series and film offering than the competition.
It becomes problematic, however, if one does not live in the USA, because for the German area, Hulu has so far no own offer. But with a little trick you can also use the service in Germany and bypass the country lock.
Ensures a functioning VPN client
To be able to use Hulu in Germany, you need a working VPN client. Similar to its competitor Netflix, this streaming provider also blocks most services. If you have already subscribed to a client, try to get access with it. In our test, access to Hulu with NordVPN worked perfectly.
Register for Hulu
In order to use the streaming service, you must first register on the Hulu website. If you have an American credit card or a US PayPal account, you can simply leave this information with the provider, all others must go through the detour of a Hulu gift card.
Buy and redeem Hulu Gift Card
You can easily buy a Hulu gift card from MyGiftCardSupply. You can choose between 1-6 months and pay with Paypal or credit card. Once you have received your code by email, all you need to do is enter it for your account on the Hulu website. However, the VPN client must be activated.
Simply start streaming
If you have followed our instructions, you can use all US contents of the streaming service when the VPN client is activated. Compared to Netflix and Co. it will be much more expensive. Depending on your subscription model, you pay the streaming provider at least 8 dollars, i.e. around 7 euros. Then there are also the costs for the VPN client, which range between 4 and 10 euros a month. In addition, it should be noted that there are no apps for Hulu in Germany, so you can only stream the content via your browser.
