Hi Erika,
It appears that the www.hulu.com <http://www.hulu.com/> url is being resolved
by different DNS servers to different IP addresses, this could result in the
disparate behavior you are seeing. Different devices and networks can be
configured to use different DNS servers. For example, I configure my router to
use Google Public DNS and then all my DHCP devices to use the router. However,
nothing would prevent me from configuring my Mac to use a different DNS server,
say OpenDNS. Normally we expect all DNS servers to agree on their URL to IP
address mappings, but if someone changes a well know servers IP address it can
take all the various public DNS servers as much as 24 hours to get back in sync.

I lost Hulu earlier but got it back on my apple device. Still won't let me
login on my tv with firestick. Uninstalled it and it won't accept passcode,
or if trying to activate with code on another device it won't generate a
code. Perhaps they are down, but like I say it works on my apple devices.
IP address is 8.20.178.2.....its just hulu so thats fishy alright! As for
Hughesnet, we had them years ago and still don't miss them..keeping it local!
Thanks

If anyone is losing access to Hulu, it would probably be helpful to WBS if
you could be more descriptive of the problem. Some information that would
be useful is;
What device are you using to access it.
Have you tried other devices.
When you say you can’t access it, does that mean you can’t even login, or
you can login but can’t get to any content or you can get to content but you
can’t play it (you get an "Error playing this video” message).
Also what is your WBS assigned IP address, my is 8.20.190.66 and I have no
problems with Hulu (you can see your external WBS assigned IP address by
simply going to: https://whatismyipaddress.com ;
<https://whatismyipaddress.com/> ). If folks with the same shared IP address
are not having issues with Hulu, then the IP address is not the problem.
For example, if anyone sharing 8.20.190.66 with me is having problems
accessing Hulu, then it certainly isn’t the shared IP address since I have
no problems.
As far as I know, Hulu doesn’t use any of the normal spam blacklists. It
does keep its own blacklist of IP’s that have attempted to access the
service using a VPN or a Proxy server (see
https://help.hulu.com/en-us/identified-as-anonymous-proxy ;
<https://help.hulu.com/en-us/identified-as-anonymous-proxy> ). It’s import
to get the details to understand the problem. One way to get the most
information is to use a web browser on a PC or MAC to login directly to
Hulu.com <http://hulu.com/> and see if you can watch content in the browser.
If there is a problem you might get more detailed information there than if
you're using a simple smart TV.

We've lost Hulu now too. It's getting ridiculous, and waiting "a few weeks"

Subject: [The-L] Re: email and web blocking WBS
So we just lost access to Hulu...could be completely unrelated to the wbs
issue but regardless not too happy right now 😟 From what I remember Hulu
does not work with vpn services. I hope this gets resolved soon and worried
what else I am going to get blocked from.
