Want to watch Hulu in Nederland? Right now, just like almost all around the world, minus the US, you can’t. You will get told by Hulu that the platform is not available in your region.
...And that’s why you are here. You want to know how to watch Hulu in Nederland.
There are two steps to that...but first, let’s explain why Hulu in Nederland is not currently a thing.
Primarily due to rights to content, or rather the lack of them.
Hulu simply doesn’t have the rights to show its content in the Nederland region.
...And the same applies to almost all of the planet.
Hulu doesn’t own a lot of its content; therefore, it has to pay for using it. And the same applies to other platforms that already are in the likes of Nederland, and might already be paying to show some of the content that’s on Hulu.
...The result? Hulu is not able to show content in Nederland.
...There’s also the issue of Hulu selling rights to some of its content so that other platforms in other countries could show them.
...But if you take all these issues away, Hulu would still not be available in Nederland. Why? As it’s focusing on the US. That is its primary focus.
That’s why the steps mentioned below are necessary if you want to watch Hulu in Nederland.
Hulu needs to think you are in the US.
You can’t select your region to be in the US when signing up.
Your IP address must match the location of the US. That’s the only way to bypass Hulu’s blocks.
What do you need for that?
A VPN.
A VPN will allow you to change your location to be virtually in the US, thus resulting in Hulu not placing blocks that would otherwise prevent you from watching.
The catch?
That, not all VPN services work with Hulu.
In fact, most VPN services don’t effectively unblock streaming services. That’s because they focus on the number of servers rather than quality. Meanwhile, streaming services do make efforts against VPN services.
And that’s where PrivateVPN comes in as a service with a focus on quality, meaning-making sure that streaming services that you want to watch in Nederland, work.
What do you need to do?
That’s how to make Hulu think you are in the US.
...And if you already have an account, that’s pretty much it.
...If you don’t then you need to apply the steps shared below because it’s not as simple as just registering if you want to watch Hulu.
You will need an American card to sign up for a Hulu account.
That naturally complicates life for many outside of the US.
However, there is a solution to that issue.
That’s because both Google and Apple don’t have the blocks that Hulu has on their site if you sign up via the Hulu app on your phone.
The catch? You need to change the region of your app store so that it’s in the US.
Want to watch Hulu on a TV? It’s not as simple as you probably would like as most smart TV platforms and TV platforms like Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku do not support VPN services.
Two solutions?
Amazon Fire TV Stick? It supports VPN services.
...Meaning it’s the most comfortable way to watch.
If you just ordered a Fire TV, simply sign up for an American account to sign up for Hulu.
But if you already have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and don’t have an American account, then:
The best thing about this guide?
That the steps also apply to many other platforms such as DAZN, HBO Max, and much more.
