All of a sudden, when trying to watch certain clips on YouTube or Hulu I get the message that the video is unavailable in my country (Canada). This never happened prior to this week.

I've heard of using proxies but don't know how to go about it. Could someone explain that a little and maybe give me some suggestions on how to go about it?

Thanks in advance.

Just use Hotspot Shield .

Edit: I think also dtunnel.com will allow you to view the videos.

Unless those VPNs are exiting outside the US, there's no point. The US will go the same way sometime in the next month(ish).
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

But Hulu is US-only. Why wouldn't it work?
