Recorded Hulu tests
What our iPhone checks actually recorded
The USip testing team recorded these two on-demand checks from Poland and Luxembourg. They document specific iPhone sessions, not a live Hulu status check or results for every country and device.
Both checks were recorded on October 13, 2026 using an iPhone 15, iOS 26.6, Hulu app 5.42 and OpenVPN Connect 3.6 with a USip profile. The countries below describe the testers’ physical locations.
Futurama · S13E1
Tester location: Poland
Device: iPhone 15
Connection: USip VPN · OpenVPN Connect
US catalogue: marked available by the tester.
The Bear · S4E1
Tester location: Luxembourg
Device: iPhone 15
Connection: USip VPN · OpenVPN Connect
US catalogue: marked available by the tester.
What these records do not establish: full-episode playback, a measured resolution or speed, Android playback, Smart DNS performance or Hulu + Live TV eligibility. Catalogue availability does not prove that every title plays.
The full Hulu summary also includes a preliminary Android observation from October 14: a regional error and zero minutes of playback. It remains pending review; the cause has not been verified.
Evidence added to this guide October 20, 2026. The playback test dates remain October 13.
Simple Setup
Set Up USip in Four Steps
Check Your Streaming Account
Check that your Hulu plan includes the title and review its account and location requirements.
Start Your USip Subscription or Trial
Start an active USip subscription or trial, then open the setup guide for your device.
Connect on Your Device
On computers and phones, connect with OpenVPN Connect and your USip profile. For TV-like devices, register your home network’s public IP from that network and set up USip Smart DNS on the TV or router.
Try the Title and Keep Any Error
Open the streaming service and try the title. If it does not play, keep the exact error message, device and connection method for support.
View recorded streaming test results for the service, country, device, connection method and date of each check. A recorded result describes that test only.
Try It Free
USip trial and subscription only. Streaming subscriptions are separate.
Computer, Phone or TV
Choose Your Device Setup
Use OpenVPN Connect with your USip profile on Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone/iPad. Follow the current written guide for your device; the videos are earlier walkthroughs.
TVs, streaming boxes and gaming consoles use Smart DNS on the device or router. Register your home network’s public IP from that same network before entering the DNS settings. Smart DNS does not create a VPN tunnel, so an ordinary IP-check page may still show your real country.

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, U.S.-issued payment method, app-store region, home network or rights to a title.
Separate services: these prices are for the USip VPN Residential U.S. IP service only. A Hulu subscription, Hulu account, billing acceptance, and content availability are not included.
Troubleshooting
If Hulu Does Not Play
| What happens | What to check |
|---|---|
| Sign-in or billing fails | Check the subscription and billing provider in your Hulu account. USip cannot change account eligibility or payment details. |
| A title is missing | Check the exact title, season and plan. The local Disney+ catalogue and US Hulu catalogue differ. |
| A location or proxy message appears | Record the exact wording. Confirm USip is connected on the device you are testing and follow its setup guide; Hulu can still block a connection. |
| TV playback fails | Check your registered home public IP and Smart DNS settings. If the home IP has changed, update its registration. |
| Playback starts but buffers | Compare your connection with and without the VPN and try the device guide’s checks. Speed varies by network and route. |
Send the exact error, title, device and connection method to USip Support if you need help with the connection. Hulu handles streaming account and content questions.

Common Questions
Hulu Outside the US — FAQ
Can I use my Hulu subscription in another country?
Hulu’s US service is intended for US households and has location restrictions. Having a paid account does not remove those restrictions. The Hulu section in a local Disney+ subscription is a different offering; check its catalogue for the title you want.
Does a residential US IP guarantee Hulu playback?
No. USip supplies the connection, while Hulu controls account eligibility, content rights and playback checks. Hulu says VPNs and proxies are unsupported. Check the recorded results for the service, country, device and connection method used in each test.
Does USip include a Hulu subscription?
No. USip supplies the connection. You need your own eligible Hulu account, and Hulu controls its subscriptions, payment requirements and content. USip prices and trials do not include streaming subscriptions.
How do I set up USip on a TV?
Does this guide also apply to Hulu + Live TV?
Hulu + Live TV has additional US residence, home-network and device-location requirements. A residential US IP does not set a Live TV home network or remove those requirements. Check Hulu’s official rules for the plan you use.
Where can I see recorded streaming checks?
The streaming test results page lists recorded checks with their service, country, device, connection method and date. A recorded result describes that test only; it is not a promise for every title or device.
