I am curious as to how it would work to use Tor for Netflix or Hulu if I have paid subscriptions to both sites.

I assume you're using Tor Browser?– strugeeJun 7, 2014 at 8:37

6A USA based VPN provider or proxy will work better for this and also not put unnecessary load on the tor network.– MacLemonJun 7, 2014 at 15:20

2I'm curious what your purpose for doing this would be. As Tor is meant as a location anonymity tool, what benefit do you receive for being location anonymous with a service you're signing into with your true identity? Also, Tor will likely be much too slow for streaming HD video. Not only that, but you'll also be slowing down Tor for people who may be relying on it for actual privacy. If you're looking to watch movies from a country that is blocked by Netflix, you're probably better off using a proxy, rather than Tor. Or, as others pointed out, you can try hola.org which appears to be– jaybeeJun 8, 2014 at 1:45

It is actually hola.org. I just tried it, and it worked like a charm. It took a few tries for netflix to work but it finally did.– user3478Aug 25, 2014 at 12:50

If you want to view netflix or hulu from countries where those are not available then Hola is a better option for you. I am using this and works like a charm for this purpose.

2Hola is not a VPN. You should check out www.hola.com. Tor is great for anonimizing. Hola is a great alternative for VPN. It is free and very fast. I generally use Tor, only if I need to connect from a specific country (like you need with netflix) I use hola.– JanJul 11, 2014 at 13:06

Dear, I understand that. What I am asking is, are you directly connecting to Hulu site or connecting through VPN or connecting through Tor network?– RoyaJul 11, 2014 at 13:10

1I connect to Netflix (no hulu for me) through Hola, not tor, not VPN, not directly.– JanJul 11, 2014 at 13:12
