Guide: How to Enable Hulu on PS3 With a Workaround

The only site i can think of that might have an issue with replacing the browser tags, is the YouTube PS3 site - i'm sure its checking for those tags in the HTTP requests etc.. although without trying this i can't confirm.

OR just use bittorrent.. Which is more convenient? :shhh:

Squid is so nice .. X_X

- Everyone should have one .. :chill:

Can someone please upload the squid.conf file for windows version of squid? I keep getting an error:

squid netmask masks away part of the specified ip

Did you mean this? It's what I'm seeing anyway in squid-hulu.conf

# squid conf to rewrite the User-Agent header.

thanks, i thought i was going to have to be using PlayOn for the remainder of hulu now and in my opinion, they are much better media servers out there than playon, play on only does a few things right.

thanks, I'm going to give this a shot later. nothing can get better than watching your favorite shows and movies in hulu.

:tup: I have to agree. I love getting some new shows then just streaming them onto my PS3.

I can't get an internet connection, and I don't know how to start Squid, how do you even know if its on?

I have a Linksys WRT54GL as my wireless router. it is connected via ethernet cable to my computer (Vista 64)

the PS3 is connected to the Linksys via wireless..

Please help me set this up to work with Squid and Hulu.

I tried that squid conf but it seems thats for linux. I downloaded windows version of squid 2.7 and im getting the error: netmask masks away part of the specified ip.

I installed squid using the command prompt with the command "squid.exe -i" but unable to start the service because of that error.

As I understand it, the only problem with this config is that all of your ps3's traffic will go through the proxy, correct? I ask because I use a vpn to get to hulu so this would be a somewhat complicated setup

ie. ps3 ---- squid server / pptp client ----- US VPN server ---- hulu

the problem of course would be dog slow gaming.

If you use a vpn you will be able to reach it, but you won't be able to view unless you change your User Agent headers and I don't think vpn's would obfuscate that for you. As for all traffic going through proxy that is not the case, some of the ps3's traffic still travels beyond the proxied connection directly to the servers [tcp/udp on diff ports to sony servers - 80, 5223, 3658 etc]. If another computer on your network is vpn'ed and acts as a gateway for your ps3 then all your ps3's traffic will go through that computer and vpn [the non proxied stuff].

Windows Vista 64
Linksys WRT54GL

I can't figure out how to make this work, please help.

has anyone been able to successfully get Squid to work... how do you even know if it is working at all?

Please help

Thank you.
