Hulu is aware that I use a VPN

How is it possible? And how can I address it? It’s occurring on my Android device.

Any business VPN’s IP addresses are public knowledge. Businesses like Proton are adding new servers and IP addresses, and Hulu is banning them. It’s a cat and mouse game. Other than trying a new server, there is nothing you can do.

Proton routes streaming content via residential IP addresses, doesn’t it?

It would cost far too much.

Well, in some circles, that’s common knowledge. Not everyone is as focused as we are.

You may use P2P VPN, like VPNGate; it’s free but has average speeds of just 10–30 Mbps. The connection is also unstable because it’s made up of volunteers, or random people, each of whom is hosting their own IP, thus it disappears when the host quits the software or turns off the computer. It is highly improbable that streaming platforms and other services/tools would block those IP addresses because they do not identify as VPNs and originate from legitimate ISPs.

For streaming movies, that may be sufficient.

Do you think IPv6 will make things harder?

I sincerely hope so, but from what I understand, it would remain linked to Proton’s ASN.

If you’re not using one already, you must use a US VPN server. Occasionally, you may need to switch servers to get it to function. It’s a game of cat and mouse because Proton has certain servers that avoid the detection of streaming services, but occasionally you still get caught.

It is because Hulu deliberately prohibits VPNs that you are receiving that error. You can attempt utilizing a different VPN service or swapping VPN servers. There are VPNs that are more adept in eluding Hulu’s surveillance.
