Hulu has claimed fair amount of popularity since its release in 2007 as it allows users to watch full episodes of their favorite TV shows. Similarly Pandora is famous for its free online music entertainment features.

However the sad part is that both of these sites provide content for the US users only and other users living across the world can not access the content on both of these sites.

One way of accessing Hulu or Pandora from outside the US is to use a good web proxy that is strong enough to provide you the bandwidth to watch videos and fast enough to stream the content without any loading problems.

The other way, as discussed by TechCrunch, is to use a good and reliable VPN service. VPN or Virtual Private Network offers a secure pipe from where you can access the web, and in turn disguise the location of the user on the end connection. Most of the VPN services are commercial and are costly but there is one VPN service which is still free.

HotSpot Shield provides a free VPN service for Windows and Mac OSX users for free. The service is free because it uses banner advertisement so every page you visit using this VPN service will have a banner ad on the top but as long as it charges $0 you can't complain much.

Using this free VPN service you will be able to watch videos at Hulu and you will also be able to listen music on Pandora. Great isn't it?
