Might be a bug on my end, but Hulu is generally very good at detecting proxies and VPNs. Will look into it though.

Damn last minute changes! Fixed. Edit: although for some countries you still need to manually try a few different proxies before it works. I have a solution to this in the works, but couldn't wait to show off.

Oh, they would be. In Russia, a state agency is tasked with finding and deleting swearing in user comments [1] Also, as a russian I'd like to make it clear that RomanPushkin does not represent me. 1. http://rkn.gov.ru/

I think you misunderstood me. My argument was simply that there are many people who support Yanukovich and unsurprisingly feel disdain towards those trying to overthrow the president they've elected.

While I sympathize with the protesters, the disdain you speak of should surprise no one. First, Yanukovich won the last election when his opponents were in power. I think this is a good enough indicator that he has lots of supporters. Secon
