4wd:
Get a cheap VPS in the USA and run a proxy/vpn on it

Nope. It ain't do.
I've attempted Hulu with half dozen vpn providers from small timers to the high profile ones hitting numerous servers. Hulu detects them and blocks playing the content. Extreme irritating and I get the same damn response from them.

Maybe so but I said VPS ;)
If you just want access to stuff in the USA, it's cheaper than a VPN provider, (eg. $9/year).

Uhh yeah, my bad. In my defense, it's 5 AM in this part of the world :)

A VPS for $9/year? How? Where?

Low End Box is the place to keep checking - here's a special from Feb. 13, still seems to be active:
BitAccel – $9/year Storage OpenVZ 128MB RAM / 30GB HD / Unmetered – in Dallas
That's geared towards storage but the rep does say you can run OpenVPN on it - for $9/year it's worth a go.
Although, since you're already in the USA you probably have some other nefarious purpose in mind ;D

Nope. Not really. :) It's just that when I have looked into hosting for my websites, I've usually seen VPSes at maybe $4-6/mo at the cheapest. So $9/year seemed incredible.
Thanks for sharing the info!
