High bandwidth proxy service. I can't watch Hulu in Australia and free proxies are too slow. I'd pay to use a proxy service along the backbone somewhere.

- baskinghobo 16y agoUse FreeVPN.
- tjmc 16y agoIs it fast enough?
- baskinghobo 16y agoDon't know the exact speed but around 80kbps which is basically just enough to stream Hulu.
- nzmsv 16y agoYou could run a proxy on a VPS. A basic Linode has 200GB bandwidth (which is the same as the monthly cap on my home connection). Tinyproxy is easy to set up. But this is an interesting idea for a service.
- maushu 16y agoWouldn't it be illegal to serve hulu content to the outside of US?
- nzmsv 16y agoThis is probably why most businesses offering proxies, newsgroup access, etc. have very shady looking websites :) That's the problem with such a business. You can't advertise "get Hulu from outside the US". You can only advertise "fast proxy servers", which only the technically inclined people will now what to do with.

- herrherr 16y ago- Get a cheap development box (Linode, Slicehost, etc.) - Set Firefox to use Socks Host 127.0.0.1:8080 - Open up your terminal and enter this: ssh -C2qTnN -D 8080 your-user@example.com Et voilà, you're tunneling all your browser traffic through the development box.
