Short answer: Hulu is sold in the United States only, so there is no Colombian Hulu to sign up for. The Hulu you may have seen here is a section of Disney+. It replaced the Star section on 8 October 2025, and it holds a catalogue licensed for Latin America, not the American one.
If it is U.S. Hulu you want — usually because you lived in the States and kept the account — two things must be true together: a U.S. Hulu account whose plan covers the title, and a connection that Hulu reads as a U.S. household. USip provides the connection. It does not provide the account, the plan or the rights.
This page is the Colombian version of that answer: how Disney’s names changed here, what 2026 changed among Claro, Tigo, Movistar, ETB and WOM, why Colombian public addresses are often shared, a four-step test you can read, and plain answers on the rules.
If you are unsure which app holds a show, you are in good company. Since 2021 Disney’s general-entertainment shelf in Colombia has gone by three names — Star+, then Star, then Hulu — and a television channel now uses the Hulu name as well.
| When | What changed | What it means today |
|---|---|---|
| 17 November 2020 | Disney+ launched in Colombia, together with the rest of Latin America | The app you may already have |
| 31 August 2021 | Star+ opened as a separate service, with general entertainment and ESPN sport | Gone — see the next row |
| 26 June 2024 | Star+ merged into Disney+, as a Star section and an ESPN section | The Standard with Ads plan started in Colombia at the same relaunch |
| 8 October 2025 | Disney renamed the Star section Hulu in its international markets, “incluyendo América Latina” | The Hulu section you now see in Disney+ Colombia |
| October 2025 | Star Channel started “Hora Hulu”, a block of Hulu originals | Television in your TV package, not a subscription |
Disney’s Colombian site lists Hulu among its brands and sells three plans — Standard with Ads, Standard and Premium, with the ESPN channels on Premium only. Search the section for the exact title before anything else; if it is there, you are done.
In October 2025 Star Channel started showing Hulu originals in a late-evening block, listed at 10 p.m. in Colombia, Monday to Saturday. Schedules change; it is a channel, not an app, and not U.S. Hulu.
Sold in the United States only, with a library licensed largely for the U.S. That is why one name can show different titles in Cali and in Chicago.
Operator pages lag behind these changes: in September 2026 Movistar Colombia’s Disney+ page was still titled “Disney+ / Star+”. Trust the search box inside the app, not a list on a website — this one included.

Hulu never names Colombia. It does not need to: its rules are written around one country, and quoting them is quicker than explaining them.
The help centre is blunt: “The videos on Hulu are only available in the U.S.” The Subscriber Agreement says the same thing in legal language — the service is “only available in the United States and certain of its territories” — and adds: “Only residents of the countries and territories where we offer the Services … are eligible to subscribe.”
Travel is covered in one direction only. On-demand subscribers “are able to stream anywhere in the U.S. — including Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases.” Live TV subscribers are “not able to stream in U.S. territories, on U.S. military bases, or internationally.” A trip from Bogotá to Miami sits inside those rules; the flight home is where they stop.
We quote one more clause on purpose. The agreement asks subscribers not to use “any technology or technique to obscure or disguise your location.” A residential U.S. IP changes the location Hulu reads — that is all it does — so weigh it against that sentence before you decide anything. We would rather you choose with it in front of you.
| The question | Hulu’s answer | From Colombia |
|---|---|---|
| Can I sign up from here? | The sign-up requirement: “To be located within the U.S.” | Not while you are in Colombia |
| Does on-demand travel? | Anywhere in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases included | Not to Colombia |
| Does Live TV travel? | Not to U.S. territories, military bases or other countries | No |
| Who is a subscription for? | It “is intended for use by members of a single U.S. household” | One U.S. household |
None of these answers changes with the connection. A residential U.S. IP deals with the location question; everything else in the table concerns the account, and stays as Hulu wrote it.

Colombia’s operators had an eventful year. Movistar now belongs to Millicom, the group behind Tigo, and WOM was ordered to stop using its name. None of it changes Hulu’s answer, because every one of them hands out Colombian addresses.
| Operator | Size in MinTIC’s figures, March 2025 | What changed | What Hulu sees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claro | The largest: 3.28 million fixed internet accesses (listed as Comcel) and 27.8 million mobile internet accesses | — | A Colombian address |
| Tigo | 1.70 million fixed accesses (as UNE EPM) and 8.6 million mobile | Its parent, Millicom, bought Movistar Colombia: the public offer closed in February 2026 and the state’s 32.5% followed in April | A Colombian address |
| Movistar | 1.58 million fixed and 8.5 million mobile | Now wholly Millicom’s; when the SIC approved the deal in November 2025, one condition was to keep the two network cores technically separate | A Colombian address |
| ETB | 570,000 fixed accesses | — | A Colombian address |
| WOM | 3.1 million mobile internet accesses | In January 2026 the SIC ordered the company, Partners Telecom Colombia, to stop using the WOM name; it kept operating | A Colombian address |
In practice, moving to another Colombian operator changes the speed, the coverage and the quality of the signal. It does not change the country. The same holds for a building’s own network in an apartment block, an office or a university: underneath, it is still a Colombian line.
The figures are MinTIC’s own for the end of March 2025, the latest quarter we read in full. By the end of 2025 the CRC counted more than 10.3 million fixed and 49.75 million mobile internet accesses; 2026 figures may look different after the Millicom purchase.

IPv4 is the older address system, and most of what Hulu reads still arrives over it. Colombia has far fewer IPv4 addresses than it has connections.
| Measure | Colombia | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| IPv4 addresses registered to Colombia | 17,513,984 | LACNIC data, 28 September 2026 |
| People | About 53 million | DANE projection for 2025 |
| IPv4 addresses per 100 people | About 33 | Our division of the two rows above |
| Mobile internet accesses | 49.75 million | CRC, end of 2025 |
| Fixed internet accesses | More than 10.3 million, 55.2% of them fibre | CRC, end of 2025 |
| Users who can reach sites over IPv6 | 19%, against 45% across the Americas | Internet Society Pulse, 2026 |
Read the mobile row against the first one: Colombia has almost three mobile internet accesses for every IPv4 address registered to the country, before a single home, office or server is counted. The registry files addresses under the country where each holder registered, so the match is not exact — but a gap that wide is hard to close without many connections sharing one address.
Where addresses run short, the usual answer is carrier-grade NAT, or CGNAT: the operator puts many customers behind one public address. We have not seen a Colombian operator document its own arrangement, so we name no operator. What matters for Hulu is simpler. A shared address carries the history of everyone behind it, and Hulu’s help centre lists an address “block listed because of previous anonymous proxy use” among the causes of its location error.
IPv6, the newer system, has enough addresses for every device. Only about one Colombian user in five can use it, so it matters less here than in countries where most traffic runs over it — but a single look at an address checker settles it for your line.
This is also why the same account can behave differently on home fibre and on mobile data: the two reach Hulu from different addresses, each with its own history. The home address matters for televisions too: USip’s Smart DNS recognises your home by it, so if your operator changes that address, register the new one.

A checker that says United States is only half the job. Hulu’s help centre names the addresses it distrusts — “a VPN or VPS” — so the kind of address counts as much as the country it is in.
Very many people share the same few server addresses. Those addresses are the likeliest to end up on block lists, and the result changes from one evening to the next — no use for a test you want to read.
The address belongs to a hosting company, the category Hulu’s help page calls “a VPN or VPS”. A U.S. flag on the checker does not make a server look like a home.
A residential U.S. IP on a U.S. internet provider: one steady U.S. identity from sign-in to the end of the episode. It changes the network layer, and nothing else.
If an ordinary episode from your plan plays in a clean browser, the network side is solved.
An account, plan or licence problem survives any change of address — so once the plain-episode test passes, stop changing the network.

A test is worth running only if a failure tells you which layer failed. In this order it points at one thing — the address, the browser, the account or the licence — instead of all four.
If you have Disney+ Colombia, open its Hulu section and search for the exact title. Since 8 October 2025 that section has carried Disney’s general-entertainment catalogue for Latin America. If the title is there, stop — you need nothing else. If it is not, confirm that your U.S. Hulu account is active and that its plan includes the title before you touch the network.
Use the fibre or cable line at home rather than mobile data, and a laptop rather than the television: a browser lets you see the address, the cookies and the result side by side. Follow the Windows guide or the Mac guide; Android and iOS can wait until the laptop passes.
With the connection up, an address checker should report the United States for IPv4 and no Colombian IPv6 address. Only about one Colombian user in five has IPv6 at all, but one look rules it out. Then open hulu.com in a fresh private window, so that no earlier Colombian visit is remembered in a cookie.
Choose an on-demand episode your plan clearly includes and let it run for a minute. If Hulu stops you, copy the exact words. A location message — Hulu’s help centre files one of them under P-EDU101 — points at the address; a message about the plan or an add-on points at the account; a title that never shows up in search is a licence question. Each needs a different fix.
A pass on an ordinary episode settles the network question. If a particular title still refuses after that, look at the plan and at the title’s rights: a new address cannot add a title Hulu has not licensed to your plan.

Start with the device that shows you the most. A laptop browser lets you see the address and the result at once; a phone hides both behind an app store; a television cannot run the OpenVPN Connect app at all, so it comes last. The walkthrough videos date from December 2022 — the connection steps are unchanged, while Hulu’s own screens look different now.
Windows adds no app store to the picture — only the connection, the address and the browser. Import your USip OpenVPN profile and connect. Then read the checker: IPv4 should say United States, and if an IPv6 address appears at all, it must not belong to Claro, Tigo, Movistar or ETB. About one Colombian user in five has IPv6, and your line may be one of them. Open hulu.com in a private window — Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome and Edge, Ctrl+Shift+P in Firefox.
Step by step: the Windows setup guide.
A Mac can send some traffic around the connection you just started. If iCloud Private Relay appears in your settings, switch it off for the test: it passes Safari’s traffic through Apple’s relays instead. Then look at IPv6 in the network settings — on a Colombian fibre line that has it, Safari will try it first. When Chrome plays and Safari refuses, these two settings are the first things to check.
Step by step: the Mac setup guide.
Google Play shows apps by the country of your Google account, so a Colombian account lists Disney+, with its Hulu section, but not the U.S. Hulu app — whatever the network says. Changing the account’s country affects existing purchases, so decide that on its own, not halfway through a test. On mobile data you are most likely on Claro, which had 27.8 million of the country’s 49.1 million mobile internet accesses in March 2025. Test on home Wi-Fi first, and exempt the connection app from battery optimisation so Android does not close it.
Step by step: the Android setup guide.
The App Store follows the Apple Account’s country, not the address, so a Colombian Apple Account will not offer the Hulu app. If you still use the U.S. Apple Account you had before moving, the app may already be installed. Changing an account’s country affects subscriptions, purchases and Family Sharing, and Apple’s own conditions apply — never with invented details. For the first run, turn Location Services off for Hulu and confirm the address in Safari before opening the app.
Step by step: the iOS setup guide.
Televisions, streaming sticks and consoles cannot run the OpenVPN Connect app, so they use USip’s Smart DNS instead. First register your home’s public IP address with USip; then enter the DNS addresses in the device’s own network settings, or once on the router. If you cannot change the router — in a rented apartment, say — use the device’s settings. Leave the television for last, after the account has played on a laptop.

One residential U.S. IP — a consumer address on a U.S. ISP, not the “VPN or VPS” ranges Hulu’s help page names. USip and Hulu are separate services: the plans include the connection only — not a Hulu subscription, account, app-store region, home network or rights to a title.

€9.99/month after a 3-day trial.
6 Months Pass

Separate services: these prices are for the USip VPN Residential U.S. IP service only. A Hulu subscription, a Hulu account and access to any particular title are not included.
They decide more outcomes than the network does, and each takes a minute to check.
Disney+ Colombia sells a Standard with Ads plan; U.S. Hulu sells Hulu With Ads. They are separate subscriptions from separate storefronts. In the U.S., Hulu With Ads is $12.49 a month and Hulu Premium $21.49, the prices since 23 September 2026.
Hulu With Ads and Hulu Premium have no trial. Hulu’s trials sit on the Live TV bundle, for people who have not had Hulu in the past twelve months — and Live TV is the tier Hulu does not allow abroad.
Live channels, add-ons and 4K are separate entitlements. A title outside your plan looks exactly like a blocked one until you look at the plan, so look there first.
Apple and Google list apps by the account’s country, not the address. Switching a Colombian Apple Account or Google account has effects on existing purchases that outlast this test, so settle Hulu in a browser first.
USip supplies a residential U.S. IP address — not a Hulu account, a plan or the rights to any title. Hulu can block any address, and its own pages say so.

If you divide your time between the two countries, the rules are simple once you know which side of the border you are on.
On-demand subscribers “are able to stream anywhere in the U.S. — including Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases.” On a trip to Miami or New York the account behaves as it would at home, with no extra connection.
Hulu names Puerto Rico as covered for on-demand viewing. Live TV is the exception: Hulu keeps it out of U.S. territories, Puerto Rico among them.
The account is the same; the address is not. The first time you open Hulu on a Colombian line, it reads Colombia and says so — expected, and not a fault in the account.
Downloads come with Hulu Premium, in the phone and tablet apps. Save the episodes you want while you are still in the U.S., then watch them offline on the flight; they expire on Hulu’s schedule.
Airport Wi-Fi, then roaming, then the home line: each is a different address. Start a session on one connection and finish it there.
The Disney+ plan you hold in Colombia, Hulu section included, and a U.S. Hulu account are separate subscriptions with different catalogues. What one carries tells you nothing about the other.
None of this makes Hulu certain in Colombia. It makes the result easy to read, which is the most any connection can honestly offer.

Answered from Disney’s and Hulu’s own pages, MinTIC’s figures and the registry’s data — including the ones where the honest answer depends on Hulu, not on us.
Not as a service you can sign up for. Hulu is sold in the United States only. What Colombians have is Disney+, which since 8 October 2025 has a section called Hulu — carrying a catalogue licensed for Latin America, not the American one.
No. On 8 October 2025 Disney renamed its Star section to Hulu across its international markets, “incluyendo América Latina”. The name moved; the rights did not. Much of U.S. Hulu is licensed for the United States only, so search the Colombian section for the exact title before assuming it is missing.
It merged into Disney+ on 26 June 2024. Its series and films went to a Star section and its sport to an ESPN section. On 8 October 2025 the Star section became the Hulu section. A page that still says Star+ is simply out of date.
Only on a connection Hulu reads as a U.S. household. Hulu’s travel rule is short: on-demand subscribers “are able to stream anywhere in the U.S. — including Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases.” Colombia is outside it, so an active account shows a location error here. A residential U.S. IP changes the location Hulu reads — nothing else — and Hulu can still refuse any address.
Because a Claro line gives you a Colombian public address, and so do Tigo, Movistar, ETB and every other Colombian operator. Hulu checks that address. The logo on the router makes no difference; the country the address belongs to does.
Not for Hulu. Millicom, which runs Tigo, took full control of Movistar Colombia in 2026, and when the SIC approved the deal it required the two networks’ cores to stay technically separate. Either way, both hand out Colombian addresses, and that is all Hulu reads.
No. Hulu says Live TV subscribers are “not able to stream in U.S. territories, on U.S. military bases, or internationally.” Colombia falls under “internationally”, whatever connection you use, so plan around on-demand episodes instead.
A late-evening block that Star Channel launched in Latin America in October 2025 to show Hulu originals on television, starting with American Horror Stories. The trade site ANMTV listed it at 10 p.m. in Colombia, Monday to Saturday. It is a channel in a TV package, not a Hulu subscription.
Sometimes not, and then the building is usually the reason. Short-let apartments, hotels, offices and universities run their own networks, and some restrict the kind of connection a residential U.S. IP uses. If it fails there but works on your own line or your phone, the network is the difference, not Hulu.
We could not confirm the position from a Colombian government or court source, so we do not state one, and nothing here is legal advice. If it matters to you, check locally. Hulu’s terms, which ask subscribers not to disguise where they are, apply in Colombia as everywhere.
Hulu With Ads is $12.49 a month and Hulu Premium $21.49 in the U.S., the prices since 23 September 2026, and neither has a free trial. The Hulu section of Disney+ Colombia is a different thing: it came inside the existing Disney+ plans.
No. USip supplies a residential U.S. IP address and nothing more. The Hulu account, its plan and the rights to each title belong to Hulu.

Hulu’s rules, the move into Disney+ and the error messages are covered in full on the hub. The Latin American guides below share Colombia’s Disney history, from Star+ to the Hulu section, with different operators underneath.
Every other country — 53 guides across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa — is listed on the Hulu hub.
Quotations are Hulu’s and Disney’s own; operator figures are MinTIC’s and the CRC’s; address figures are LACNIC’s and the Internet Society’s. Any of them can change without notice.
Everything above fits into one attempt: the Hulu section searched first, then a laptop on the home line, the connection up and both address types checked, a private window and one plain episode from your own plan. About ten minutes, and you know which layer works.
If it plays, the network part is finished, and anything still missing belongs to the plan or the licence. If it fails, the exact message is what the test was for — copy it before you change a single setting.
USip supplies the residential U.S. IP connection only. Hulu accounts, plans and content rights are Hulu’s, and Hulu can block any address.
