The best VPNs for Hulu in 2026

Proton lists Hulu (United States) in its streaming guide and has a separate page on watching Hulu. That page says every VPN Plus server is set up for streaming, and it tells US subscribers who are traveling to connect to a US server so they keep their usual library. It is also plain about the limits: Hulu ties what you can watch to your account's home region, so you need an active Hulu subscription there first.

For a hotel or vacation-rental TV, Proton has its own apps for Apple TV, Fire TV and Android TV, which saves you from setting up a router. One VPN Plus plan covers 10 devices at once, and Proton says it has more than 20,000 servers in over 140 countries.

The free plan won't help with Hulu, because streaming is a paid feature. VPN Plus costs $3.49 a month on the two-year plan, billed at $83.76 for the first 24 months, then $83.88 a year, which works out to $6.99 a month. Proton offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test Hulu before you're locked in.

Proton's Hulu page also says Hulu is moving into Disney+ by the end of 2026, and that a Disney+ subscription alone won't give you Hulu in the US.

ExpressVPN's Hulu page spends more time than most on Hulu + Live TV, which is where travelers tend to get stuck. It explains that Live TV errors usually mean your device isn't on the Home network set in your Hulu account, and that on a phone you need to have checked in at home within the past 30 days. When a server stops working, it suggests switching to another US server for a new IP address, and with servers in all 50 states you have plenty of places to move.

For TVs, there are apps for Fire TV Stick and Android TV. On Apple TV, game consoles and Samsung TVs, ExpressVPN points you to MediaStreamer, a DNS service rather than a VPN. One subscription covers up to 14 devices.

The Basic plan costs $2.99 a month on the two-year plan, which is $83.72 for the first 28 months, then $99.95 a year. First-time customers who buy direct get a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up in the iPhone or Android app instead, you get a 3-day free trial, and Apple or Google handles any refund.

Surfshark puts no limit on how many devices you connect, so one plan can cover two phones, a laptop and the Fire TV or Apple TV in a rental. It has apps for both of those TV platforms.

Its Hulu page says Hulu works with paid providers like Surfshark, and it is frank about Hulu's side: Hulu blocks VPNs because of licensing deals and doesn't tolerate attempts to falsify your location, so Surfshark advises streaming through a server in your home country. For a US subscriber abroad, that means a US server.

Surfshark says it has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries. The Starter plan costs $2.49 a month on the two-year plan, which is $67.23 for the first 27 months, then $79 a year. You can start with a 7-day free trial on the one-year and two-year plans. The trial covers three devices, and the unlimited allowance begins once you pay. After that, a 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

NordVPN keeps a help article on Hulu errors, updated on November 3, 2026, and it is the most practical fix-it list we found. It walks you through a DNS leak test, switching to another server in the same country, reinstalling the Hulu app on an iPhone (clearing the cache isn't enough there), turning off location services, and turning off DNS over HTTPS or Secure DNS in your browser. It also warns that Hulu's local live channels won't work on mobile devices, because they need location services.

One account covers 10 devices at once. New customers in the US and 14 other countries can take a 7-day free trial on the one-year and two-year plans, paying by card or PayPal, and NordVPN also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

We can't give you a website price. NordVPN's site returned an access error to us on November 4, 2026, so check the price and the renewal price at checkout. On the US App Store, NordVPN's in-app purchases include a 12-month plan at $83.99.

CyberGhost names Hulu in its streaming list and runs servers set aside for streaming traffic, which it says it checks daily. Its main draw is time. Plans longer than a month come with a 45-day money-back guarantee (14 days on the monthly plan), so you can try Hulu over a whole trip before the refund window closes.

Read its streaming page before you buy. CyberGhost says that connecting to a server in another country to reach other content is against its terms of service. A US subscriber who connects to a US server while away is reaching their own library, which is the use we'd recommend for every VPN in this guide.

One subscription covers seven devices. CyberGhost was running an early Black Friday sale on November 4, 2026: $2.19 a month on the 28-month plan ($61.32 up front), which its pricing table says renews at $61.32 a year. The monthly plan is $12.99. On an iPhone, the App Store version has a 7-day trial if you add a payment method; on Windows and macOS you get 24 hours without a card.

Private Internet Access has the lowest long-term price we found: $2.03 a month on the three-year plan, which includes four extra months and is billed at $81.20. It renews at the same $81.20 every three years, so the price doesn't jump at renewal the way it does at most providers. The one-year plan is $47.88 and the monthly plan is $11.95. Every plan covers unlimited devices, and new subscribers who buy direct get a 30-day money-back guarantee.

For Hulu, the catch is that PIA doesn't name Hulu on the pages we checked, so you're relying on its general streaming support rather than a stated claim. Buy it if price matters more to you than a published promise, and test Hulu in your first 30 days so you can get your money back if its US servers are blocked.

PIA's iPhone app supports WireGuard and OpenVPN, has an automatic kill switch, and can connect by itself when you join a new Wi-Fi network, which helps when you're moving between airports and hotels.
