The “easy” way to watch Hulu if you’re not awesome enough to reside the You Ess of ‘ey is to connect through an anonymous proxy that made it look like you were connecting from inside the US. That doesn’t work anymore, since Hulu is now blocking anonymous proxies.

I use another method to download region restricted content, but it involves a hosted VPS for around US $8 per month (100GB transfer) and some unix knowledge (ie; proxy setup). This might be a bit advanced, but I imagine some gizmodians out there are already visualizing the win.
VPSlink is reliable and cheap for this, and as long as you dont give your proxy access out to the masses, you wont get blocked.
