Bypass Great Firewall of China; Watch Hulu

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Are you worried about people snooping on you while you're surfing the web?

Maybe you're at an office and the IT department has locked down your favorite time sucking website. Or maybe you're at the airport, or a coffee shop. Or more so, maybe you're living in China and a site you frequent has landed on the government's list of no-no sites. In that case, what would you do?

Enter Hotspot Shield by AnchorFree. It's a little application that frees you from firewalls and content censorship. It even allows you to watch Hulu outside of the U.S.

For those who already know of HotSpot shield, you may know that it displays a little ad on your browser--but it's easily disabled. However, a small ad is a tiny price to pay to able to reach the content you want, when you want, where you want.

Check out the little app here.

Hurrah it works!! Was watching Hulu last nite. Tends to slow your browsing up but you can enable/disable with one click. Navigate to the vid you want, enable and off it goes. One minor point is I think it gives you some popup ads, but so what close em, and carry on watching hulu or maybe an ad-blocker would do the job...
