No Hulu for PS3

Is hulu no longer working on your PS3 ? Well here is a quick fix for the issue. Recently Hulu blocked PS3 users from using Hulu, they test the User-Agent string in the HTTP request and block us from viewing it.

• Install squid (“sudo apt-get install squid” for ubuntu users…. for Windows users, google for: squid windows)

• 2. Edit squid’s default config (/etc/squid/squid.conf on ubuntu) with these changes (or download my configuration: squid-hulu.conf):

Search for “acl localnet src” and set it to your internal network. You can remove the other localnet definitions if you’re not using them as shown here:

#acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8
#acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12
acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16

Search for “http_access allow localhost” and add “http_access allow localnet” as such:

http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost


Add the following two lines pretty much anywhere in the file (the end of the file works just fine):

header_access User-Agent deny all
header_replace User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)


• Start squid (sudo /etc/init.d/squid start)

• Go to PS3 Internet settings. Do manual configure. Go through the settings as normal (the defaults should be fine) until you get to proxy server. Set it to be your PC’s IP address port 3128.

Your PS3 is now a Windows machine running Firefox (as far as Hulu is concerned) and you can use Hulu again.

All traffic will get routed through your PC if you do this.
