WSPORTS YOUTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAM (WYMP)
In association with iSoccer Australia and funding from the Queensland and Federal Government, WSports has proposed the YOUTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAM.
WSports Youth Mentorship program is an exciting new initiative designed to develop young, ambitious coaches and give them access to young women looking to access the sport, or just to support. The program is specifically designed where the mentees will get guidance, support, challenges and have the opportunity to bounce career-related ideas off someone they may not have otherwise met. The Mentorship Program will consist of a 6-month structured platform that will allow coaches unique access to organic growth and personal development.
W COACH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (WCDP)
The W Coach Development Program is designed to train senior female coaches, who in turn will act as educators to other female coaches who wish to further develop and progress their coaching careers and address the lack of highly qualified coaches available to many of the sporting codes in Australia.
ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM (AIP)
The W Active involvement program is designed to focus on several groups (youth, mothers and elderly) to provide the opportunity to participate in team sports, exercise and get involved and socialist through the medium of sports and team building.
FEMALE ATHLETE PROMOTION PROGRAM (FAPP)
In association with the Women's Sports Network (wsn.org.au) the Female Athlete Promotion Program (FAPP) is designed to provide exposure to both emerging and established athletes by ensuring that there is sufficient media coverage of both the sports and the individual players. This is designed to fill the gap in the female based sports reporting, provide voices to younger journalists, and provide inspiration to youth by providing an accessway in which they can emulate their sporting heroes that are identifiable.
In association with SportBoxApp, WSports is rolling out a communication platform focussing on team and coach communication across a wide number of sports.
We are always looking to explore new partnership options with organisations and companies keen to advance the cause of women in sport.

Gone are the days where you can repeat your keyword to achieve what was "keyword" density and have your page rank. Today it's much easier, but deeper thought and writing skills are required to achieve a top result. The new mantra is "theme density" and the example below will explain how to achieve it for your entire website where ranking matters.
I list them alphabetically as I go, so I avoid writing down the same word twice. This list of 123 LSI words should be all you ever need for the articles you write, whether it's for article directories or for your blog. I like to make about 10% of the words in the article LSI words. So if it's a 500-word article, that means about 50 words should be from this list.

Q: How can I split test methods for reuse in multiple case with Minitest? I blocked for refactor my code in my Minitest files.
I have this example:
test_calls.rb
describe Aircall::Calls do
 before do
  @call_by_id = DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.calls.get_by_id(34043501)
  @call_by_user_id = DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.calls.get_by_user_id(80603)
 end

 describe "By id" do
  it "is Hash" do
    @call_by_id.must_be_instance_of Hash
  end

  it "no error return" do
    @call_by_id['error'].must_be_nil
  end
 end

 describe "by user id" do
  it "is Hash" do
    @call_by_user_id.must_be_instance_of Hash
  end

  it "no error return" do
    @call_by_user_id['error'].must_be_nil
  end
 end
end

test_users.rb
describe Aircall::Users do
describe "By id" do

  before do
    @user_by_id = DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.users.get_by_id(80603)
  end

  it "is Hash" do
    @user_by_id.must_be_instance_of Hash
  end

  it "no error return" do
    @user_by_id['error'].must_be_nil
  end

 end
end

Ideally, I want split my code in another file, like this:
class DefaultTest
 def initialize(element_to_test)
  @element_to_test = element_to_test
 end

 def defaults_tests
  describe "default" do
   it "is Hash" do
    @element_to_test.must_be_instance_of Hash
   end

   it "no error return" do
    @element_to_test['error'].must_be_nil
   end
  end
 end
end

So, I could be import my default tests in my different tests files.
I don't know if it's possible and how. I have succeeded one time I think, but the test don't appear in console. If I call a class method who run some Minitest tests, my task (who run the test) not accounting my default tests.

A: As far as I can tell, it is not possible to do what you are trying to do. The problem here is that the it can only be called from within a describe block. it will not be available in methods called by that block.
I did some experimenting. The best I could come up with was that a lambda can be defined within a describe block, and used by all it blocks in that describe. (It is not possible to use a conventional method in this way.)
Here is an example:
require "minitest/autorun"

class MyTest < Minitest::Test

  describe 'number test' do

    # It is not legal to define a method here,
    # you'll get this error when trying to call it:
    # "undefined method `is_odd'"

    # def is_odd(number)
    #   it 'is odd' do
    #     assert_equal (number / 2), 1
    #   end
    # end

    is_odd_lambda = ->(number) do
      it 'is odd' do
        assert_equal (number / 2), 1
      end
    end

    # is_odd(3)
    is_odd_lambda.(3)
  end
end

Calling the is_odd method results in an error, but calling the is_odd_lambda does not.

A: Great idea Keith Bennett ! Lambda is a good approach.
I have my solution now:
My module with lambda who run default tests:
default_tests.rb
module DefaultTest

 Run = ->(*variables_to_test) do
  describe "Default test" do
   variables_to_test.each do |variable|

    it "is Hash" do
      self.class.send(variable).must_be_instance_of Hash
    end

    it "no error return" do
      self.class.send(variable)['error'].must_be_nil
    end

   end
  end
 end

end

test_contacts.rb
module TestAircall
 describe Aircall::Contacts do

  def self.contact_by_id
   @contact_by_id ||= DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.contacts.get_by_id(ENV['TEST_DEFAULT_CONTACT_ID'])
  end

  def self.contact_by_phone_number
   @contact_by_phone_number ||= DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.contacts.get_by_phone_number(ENV['TEST_DEFAULT_PHONE_NUMBER'])
  end

  def self.contact_by_email
   @contact_by_email ||= DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.contacts.get_by_email(ENV['TEST_DEFAULT_EMAIL'])
  end

  DefaultTest::Run.('contact_by_id', 'contact_by_phone_number', 'contact_by_email')
 end
end

test_users.rb
module TestAircall
 describe Aircall::Users do
  def self.user_by_id
   @user_by_id ||= DefaultAircall::AIRCALL.users.get_by_id(ENV['TEST_DEFAULT_USER_ID'])
  end

  DefaultTest::Run.('user_by_id')
 end
end

I can call and run my default tests in every file test for any variable.

I want to share with you why I'm on stage here today. Right out of College I landed in San Francisco working for Levi's when I received a phone call from my sister telling me that the doctor said that she had stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma that had metastasized to every vital organ in her body. You have to understand that my sister is one of my most favorite people in the world. Within four days I packed up my life and headed back to Cape Cod where I was from.
I'm the kind of person that when your family needs you, you show up. At the time my sister was a waitress and her husband a carpenter and they had 2 little kids, ages 3 and 8 at the time, with no health insurance.
Now you have to understand that I grew up in the early 70's. We had heard of chiropractic and had experienced it, but we had no other exposure to any concept of healing or a healing modality. There was no talk about foods causing inflammation and how most likely the diet we were eating was acidic and so forth.
So my sister had decided that she would go through chemotherapy out of a hospital in Boston which was a couple hours away.
She had cancer in too many areas for radiation, but she was part of a clinical trial of 20 individuals to do 6 months of chemo. This trial was about how much chemo is too much for the vital organs. What ended up happening, is that people started dying in this clinical trial. Doctors said my sister had about 20% chance of survival and as a side note, that particular trial never got approved.
It was difficult to see her bed ridden and sick. I went to "work" and got busy at looking in the Yellow Pages to find out if there was something out there that could help. We had dial-up internet at this point, so I was busy searching Yahoo for any chat rooms that may have suggestions… Luckily for me, my sister trusted me and was open to trying some complementary therapies and approaches to her healing in conjunction with her chemo.
I learned about Michio Kushi and macrobiotic cooking and it opened up our eyes to the fact that food had properties and our digestive system worked better following certain guidelines. I learned about herbal medicine and found a 4-root bitter tea that I would make for her and have her drink. It was nasty but she did it. We brought in a friend who knew yoga and meditation, massage, reflexology, reiki. And lastly, we did prayer.
I'm happy to say She is now 15 years in remission and thriving as a nurse back in our hometown.
I asked myself this question from that experience: why do we as humans have to wait until we get a diagnosis or something extreme happens in our life to make the changes necessary to live a thriving and healthy life? How can I know my body well enough, so that if a doctor does give me a serious diagnosis, I feel empowered enough to know that there are other things I may be able to do.
In the moments I felt like I was going to lose my most favorite person on the planet, I made a choice. I made a conscious choice to be courageous in the face of my number one fear: to lose my best friend. I empowered myself to search for the information we did not have.
Last week, I decided to call my sister to tell her that I was going to share her story on stage with you today. She said to me a few different times during that call that she hopes that people are open to learning about which foods are best for them and being open to using what we call alternative or complementary therapies before we get a diagnosis and especially if we do. My sister was the only person out of those 20 people in that clinical trial that had no lasting side effects. The western doctors said that the only reason she was the only one who didn't have lasting side effects from the chemotherapy is because of all the adjunct philosophies I brought into her healing. While others from that 20-person group lived, every single one of them lost a spleen or had significant side-effects.
I'm standing here today because I have decided to dedicate my life to educating and empowering individuals to govern over their own bodies. To remind you that you always have a choice. To help people gain the knowledge they need to live the best life possible.
After that whole experience with my sister, I made a trek to Saigon where I was born during the Vietnam War. When you close to death, you usually decide to make sure you have no regrets. Upon returning, I realized that it was time for my next chapter. I knew I wanted to make more people aware of the choices they have around their health. I decided to go to medical school. I was surprised to hear from the western medical doctors I interviewed that they were deterring me from enrolling into a medical school. They said that if i really wanted to help people, I should look into eastern medicine or chiropractic. They were feeling frustrated with pressure of the health insurance companies and the pharmaceuticals. I luckily found Chinese Medicine as the perfect paradigm from which I can use as a healing art and framework when educating around our lifestyle choices. Even though I am Chinese and have never met my mother, who would have passed down to me traditions from my lineage. The world works in mysterious ways. Even though I've never met either of my parents, somehow the wisdom of the East found me. And I am here in the United States as a force for the good of all.

The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS)
Stiftungen & Think Tanks
Demokratie | Europäische Union
The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) is the think tank of the progressive political family at EU level. Our mission is to develop innovative research, policy advice, training and debates to inspire and inform socialist and social democratic politics and policies across Europe.
We operate as hub for thinking to facilitate the emergence of progressive answers to the challenges that Europe faces today.
FEPS works in close partnership with its members and partners, forging connections and boosting coherence among stakeholders from the world of politics, academia and civil society at local, regional, national, European and global levels.
Today FEPS benefits from a solid network of 74 member organisations. Among these, 43 are full members, 26 have observer status and 5 are ex-officio members. In addition to this network of organisations that are active in the promotion of progressive values, FEPS also has an extensive network of partners, including renowned universities, scholars, policymakers and activists.
Our ambition is to undertake intellectual reflection for the benefit of the progressive movement, and to promote the founding principles of the EU – freedom, equality, solidarity, democracy, respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms, human dignity, and the rule of law.
FEPS was created in 2008 as the European-level political foundation associated with – but independent from – the Party of European Socialists (PES) and the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament (S&D). Since its creation, FEPS has mainly been funded by the European Parliament.
FEPS was set up to "serve as a framework for national political foundations, academics, and other relevant actors to work together at the European level" (art. 1.4 of Regulation (EC) 1524-2007).
These credentials have made FEPS into an important stakeholder, recognised by foundations and international think tank rankings such as the Pennsylvania Global Think Tank Index. In 2019, FEPS was ranked fourth best party-affiliated think tank worldwide.
In August 2017, FEPS was officially registered as with the status of European political foundation (number: EUPF 4BE0896.230.213).
In 2019, FEPS was honoured to be granted Special Consultative Status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the highest status granted by the UN to non-governmental organisations, thus allowing it to participate in the work of the UN.

Q: DOM injection and Knockout timing issues I am iterating over a collection of observable data, but some of that data gets handed to a javascript function to create a tag cloud. An earlier version of this site using ajax and call backs worked as expected: get data, iterate over collection, inject into target DOM objects and all is right with the world.
Now that I've 'evolved' to using Breeze, and promises, I have a timing issue whereby my tag cloud gets created, but I believe I am injecting it too soon. I have verified that if I hit a breakpoint in my JQuery, and inspect the DOM, those elements are not yet available.
How do I invoke a javascript method to manipulate the DOM when dealing w/promises?

A: If you are dealing with promises, then you need to register callback function using promise done method, so when promise will resolve, your UI will get updated.
promiseObject.done(function(){
    // Do something...
});

You can read documentation on jquery website: http://api.jquery.com/promise/

Q: How do I change UPPERCASES to Correct casing for specific words? Hi I need to change the cases of the specific words
Example:

*

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - PAIN - Lidocaine

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - PAIN - Fenoprofen

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - DERMATITIS - Diflorasone

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - SCAR - Silvex Pad

Should be like this:

*

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - Pain - Lidocaine

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - Pain - Fenoprofen

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - Dermatitis - Diflorasone

*RX PPLLC - Dr. Smith - John Smith - OH - Scar - Silvex Pad

I have tried this:
get-childitem -recurse | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace "PAIN","Pain" }
get-childitem -recurse | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace "SCAR","Scar" }
get-childitem -recurse | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace "DERMATITIS","Dermatitis" }
Now the question is, is there anyway that I could consolidate this into one code? The words in the end is not always one word 2 or more for other file names.
Thank you in advance.

A: It looks like you are needing to rename your files using TitleCase. Note, converting to TitleCase does not work for all upper. So, we will need to put the string ToLower():
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Path" -Recurse | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace "$($_.Name)", "$((Get-Culture).TextInfo.ToTitleCase($_.Name.ToLower()))"}

Another note, this will change "RX PPLLC" to TitleCase as well. If you need to ignore that, you might need to use substring to get around it.
Update: -- If you want to keep "RX PPLLC":
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Test" -Recurse | Rename-Item -NewName {
    $lefSide = $_.Name.Substring(0,$_.Name.IndexOf('-'))
    $rightSide = $_.Name.Substring($_.Name.IndexOf('-') + 1)
    $rightSide = $((Get-Culture).TextInfo.ToTitleCase($rightSide.ToLower()))
    $newName = $leftSide + $rightSide
    $_.Name -replace "$($_.Name)", "$newName"
}

There are much better ways of doing this. Basically, this will take the file name into two strings (a left side and right side). It will change the right then put it back into a variable called $newName . This will only work if your file name contains a -. If you wanted to handle for those situations, you would need a condition or a regEx... this is just a quick example

How Does Hulu Detect VPNs?
Since Hulu is only available in the U.S., those in other countries will need to use a VPN. If you've never used a VPN before or you're having trouble connecting, our guide on how to watch Hulu with a VPN has you covered.
By Sandra Pattison (Editor)
Hulu's content library includes some of the most popular shows and movies, including Hulu originals like The Handmaid's Tale, Castle Rock and Marvel's Runaways. The problem is that Hulu is only available in the U.S., so if you're anywhere else in the world, you need to know how to watch Hulu with a VPN.
Whether you're an American on vacation and want to access your existing Hulu account, or you reside in another country and want a taste of Hulu's library, a VPN can help. A VPN, or virtual private network, allows you to connect to a server in another country, such as the U.S. Your true IP address is then masked by a new one in that country, making it look like you're physically there.
Hulu is only available in the U.S., so if you're outside the country, you'll need to connect to a U.S. server. You also need to have a U.S. payment method or purchase a Hulu gift card if you don't already have a Hulu subscription.
Watching Hulu + Live TV is a little more tricky if you're traveling with a VPN because Hulu requires you to have a U.S. residential connection at setup and you have to reconnect every 30 days.
ExpressVPN is the best Hulu VPN, but NordVPN and Surfshark are also good choices.
If you don't already have a Hulu account, we'll show you how to set one up. If you don't have a U.S. payment method, you can purchase a Hulu gift card and sign up that way.
In this guide, we'll show you how to stream Hulu with a VPN and list some troubleshooting ideas you can try if the VPN isn't working. We'll also list some of the best Hulu VPNs, so you can get started, starting with our favorite, ExpressVPN. Let's get into it.
Can I Use Hulu With a VPN?
Yes, you can use Hulu with a VPN, but you need to choose one that has U.S. servers and can bypass Hulu's geo-restrictions. ExpressVPN is the best VPN choice for Hulu.
How Do I Bypass VPN Blocking?
If your VPN is being blocked by a streaming service, the first thing you could try is switching to a different server. If that doesn't work, there are a few other options, like clearing your cache and cookies, buying a dedicated IP address, using the SmartDNS feature and changing the VPN protocol.
How Do Streaming Services Detect VPN?
Most streaming services monitor IP addresses. If there's any sign that they're owned by a VPN or other unblocking tool, they're blocked. One indication is lots of people using the same IP address to access Hulu.
How to Watch Hulu With a VPN
Streaming Hulu with a VPN is a simple process, but if you've never used a VPN before, you might not know where to start. The steps below show you how to set up a VPN (using NordVPN as an example), how to get a Hulu gift card if you need one and how to start streaming Hulu. We have a separate guide on how to watch Hulu with our top Hulu VPN, ExpressVPN.
Sign Up for a VPN Service
Go to the VPN's website (in this case, NordVPN) and sign up for one of the VPN plans. NordVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can get a full refund if you don't like it.
Download the VPN App
Download and install the VPN app on your device. NordVPN is compatible with many device types. If you install the VPN on your mobile device, you can cast Hulu to your TV to watch it on the big screen. Some smart TVs, such as Android TV and FireTV, support VPN apps, meaning you can install it directly on your TV.
Connect to a U.S. Server
Since Hulu is only available in the U.S., you need to connect to a U.S. server. You can find a server in the United States with NordVPN's map interface or the server list on the left-hand side. If it doesn't automatically connect when you click the server, click on the "connect" button in the top right.
Purchase a Hulu Gift Card
If you don't already have a Hulu subscription and don't have a U.S. payment method, you can buy a Hulu gift card and pay for Hulu that way. It's also possible to sign up with an Apple Store gift card, so long as you have a U.S. Apple ID. You can find Hulu gift cards on sites like MyGiftCardSupply.
Redeem Your Gift Card on Hulu
When you have a Hulu gift card ready, you can redeem it on Hulu's website. Once it is redeemed, you can sign up as usual. Keep in mind that when your gift card balance has run out, you'll need to add another payment method, like another gift card. If you don't, your account will be canceled.
Start Streaming Hulu
You can now start streaming Hulu either on the app or on the Hulu website (here's our guide on how to get Hulu on TV). Be sure to connect to a U.S. server whenever you want to access Hulu.
Watch Hulu Plus Live TV With a VPN
Watching Hulu + Live TV with a VPN is pretty much impossible, unless you can meet specific conditions. Hulu + Live TV is only intended for use by a single household, and it needs to establish your home location with a residential network. A mobile network or hotspot won't suffice.
This is Hulu's way of ensuring you have a physical address in the U.S. so it can stay in line with its licensing agreements. Plus, some of its live channels are local to specific areas.
If you reside in the U.S., this might not be a problem if you're able to get home and verify your home connection. For those who are completely outside the U.S., though, it's an issue. Unless you have a friend or relative in the U.S. who wouldn't mind setting up a Hulu + Live TV account for you, you're pretty much stuck.
Hulu's Residential "Check-In"
On mobile, Hulu also likes to "check in" and ensure you're still able to connect to that residential connection every 30 days. Again, if you're a U.S. resident, you can just make sure you connect to your home network every now and then.
Hulu takes an extra step on mobile devices. It not only wants to verify your IP address, but also your physical position via your GPS location. You have to give Hulu permission to check your device's location; once you do, it'll know where you really are and deny access.
If you can't connect to your home network, Hulu won't let you use live TV until you do. You'll still be able to stream on-demand content from the Hulu library, though. If you have no problem verifying your home connection occasionally, you can certainly use Hulu + Live TV on the go so long as you're connected to a U.S. server.
Will a Dedicated IP Address Work With Hulu + Live TV?
Many VPN providers, such as NordVPN and CyberGhost, offer a dedicated IP address. This is an add-on service to your regular VPN subscription, which will increase your monthly cost, but it could be worth it if you want to access Hulu's Live TV package while traveling.
A dedicated IP address is a personal IP that never changes. You choose the location you need and get a unique IP address on a VPN server from that place. No one else can use it, making it similar to a residential connection but even more secure.
As we mentioned earlier, Hulu mobile apps not only check your IP address, but also your device's GPS location. The only way to fake your GPS location is to use a location spoofing app. However, such apps usually require you to have a jailbroken or rooted device.
In summary, if you can use a dedicated IP address, set that as your home network connection and spoof your location to that of where your dedicated IP address is located, you might just be able to access Hulu + Live TV from anywhere.
The Best VPNs for Hulu
Aside from the live TV service, you can access Hulu's on-demand content from anywhere, so long as you're connected to a U.S. IP address with a VPN that can bypass geoblocks. Below, we've listed the top VPN services that have U.S. servers and can unblock Hulu easily.
ExpressVPN easily bypasses geoblocks and has plenty of U.S. servers for unblocking Hulu.
Plenty of U.S. server locations
Accesses Hulu easily
ExpressVPN is not only our top recommended VPN overall, it's also our best VPN for streaming. There are many reasons that it claims those top spots, but its ability to get into popular streaming services — including Hulu, BBC iPlayer, HBO Max and others — and fast speeds on all servers are two features that make it stand out here. You'll hardly notice you're even using a VPN, which is great for ensuring the best streaming performance.
You have access to multiple U.S. server locations, and ExpressVPN's strong security will ensure you stay protected while streaming. Something it doesn't offer, though, is dedicated or static IP addresses.
ExpressVPN's MediaStreamer
What ExpressVPN does have is MediaStreamer. It's a form of SmartDNS, a common VPN feature which allows you to spoof your location to access content in other countries. It works by changing the DNS address of your device, fooling streaming services into thinking you're located there.
However, using MediaStreamer will mean your device is not protected by VPN security — there's no encryption, much like a proxy server.
ExpressVPN is an expensive service. You can reduce the monthly cost by choosing its 12-month plan, but it's still pricier than other options. That said, you're getting a quality VPN service. You can learn more in our ExpressVPN review, or take it for a spin using its 30-day money-back guarantee.
NordVPN has the fastest VPN speeds and a large server network.
More details about NordVPN:
Provider website: nordvpn.com
Fastest VPN speeds
Consistently unblocks Hulu
Multiple U.S. server locations
Expensive monthly plan
NordVPN is another of our favorite VPNs here at Cloudwards, sitting very close to ExpressVPN. According to our speed tests, it's the fastest VPN you can get, mostly thanks to its secure NordLynx protocol. It can unblock Hulu, and its huge server network includes plenty of servers in multiple U.S. cities, meaning you've got options if one server doesn't work.
That difference sets NordVPN slightly below ExpressVPN as a streaming option.
For the most part, ExpressVPN can unblock streaming services from the first server you pick, whereas you might need to try a couple of NordVPN's servers before you get through. It's not a dealbreaker, though, and certainly doesn't happen enough to be annoying.
NordVPN does have a couple of added benefits. For one, you can get a dedicated IP address priced at $70 for one year, which works out to $5.83 per month.
That cost is in addition to the standard VPN package, but considering you can get NordVPN for less than $4 per month, it's not too bad. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee here, too. You can read our NordVPN review for more information.
Surfshark is an affordable VPN that can get into Hulu reliably.
Gets into Hulu
More than 20 U.S. servers
Surfshark is one of the most wallet-friendly VPNs that doesn't skimp on features and quality. It has a large server network that includes more than 20 server locations in the United States — plenty for accessing Hulu, which Surfshark can do easily.
It doesn't offer dedicated IP addresses, but it does have static IP addresses available in the U.S., which are included in the price. You can find them under the "static IP" tab in the app.
With a static IP, you'll get the same IP address each time you connect, but it's shared — that is, not exclusive to you. One of the problems with this is the bad neighbor effect, where the IP address can get blocked by certain services because another user abused the service.
Surfshark's Speeds & Streaming Capability
Surfshark's speeds are good. They can fluctuate on U.S. servers, but not enough to cause concern, and Hulu still streams fine. You can connect an unlimited number of devices on Surfshark. That won't help with Hulu's two simultaneous screens limit, but it does mean you can keep multiple devices — and maybe family and friends too — protected by Surfshark's excellent security.
It's an impressive service that offers quite a few extra features, as you can read in our Surfshark review. Its best value plan comes in at $2.49 per month over two years. If you want to give it a test run first, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Windscribe has a generous free VPN plan that includes U.S. servers for accessing Hulu.
More details about Windscribe:
Pricing: Free; Build-a-plan option for $1 per location.
Provider website: windscribe.com
Unblocks Hulu, even on free servers
Free U.S. server locations
15GB data cap on free plan
Windscribe is an impressive VPN that not only has a great paid plan, it also has a generous free plan that earned it the top spot in our list of the best free VPNs. It can unblock Hulu on most of its U.S. servers, with more than 50 U.S. locations to pick from. That number includes some free U.S. servers. We were able to stream Hulu from several of those.
There are no dedicated IPs on offer, but like Surfshark, Windscribe does have static IPs. They're a separate cost item, offering the choice between a datacenter static IP for $2 per month or residential static IP for $8 per month (both billed annually). You'll also need to be on the paid plan or at least have unlimited data through the build-a-plan option to use them.
Windscribe's speeds are fast and, like Surfshark, it allows unlimited simultaneous connections, so you can really benefit from its strong security. Which plan you opt for won't change that, either. The main difference is that the free VPN plan has limited server locations and a data cap, as we explain in our Windscribe review.
Windscribe's Multiple Plans
Windscribe has a build-a-plan option, though, which allows you to bundle server locations for $1 each per month and unlimited data for $1 per month. There's a $3 minimum checkout, but if you bundle that with a static datacenter IP, you're looking at $5 per month.
If you sign up for the free plan, you'll be able to connect to U.S. servers, but you'll be limited to 15GB of data per month, which can get eaten up pretty quickly if you're streaming in 4K. If you want to go the whole hog, the Pro plan has no limitations and costs $5.75 per month on a 12-month plan. There's only a three-day money-back guarantee, though, so make sure you're happy with it.
: Up to 15 GB free with email confirmation and Tweet

CyberGhost has dedicated streaming servers for Hulu.
Accesses Hulu
More than 1,000 U.S. servers
Slow speeds
CyberGhost has no problem getting into Hulu. Its server network is massive and includes servers in multiple U.S. locations. It also has dedicated streaming servers, including one optimized for Hulu. CyberGhost also offers dedicated IP's with U.S. locations for an additional $3.75 each per month.
While all that's great, CyberGhost's speeds aren't always on par with other VPNs. It can be just as fast as our top VPNs one day, then completely drop the next, making its overall speeds inconsistent and unreliable. This can result in content loading slower at times, but once it is loaded, it streams fine.
It has an easy-to-use interface and comes with extra features like "smart rules," which allow you to set up triggers for how the VPN works. For instance, you could set the VPN to automatically connect to a specific U.S. server at launch and even load the Hulu app once it has established a connection. You can read more on that in our CyberGhost review.
CyberGhost's Cost
CyberGhost is another cheap VPN. Although its month-to-month price is just as expensive as other VPNs at $12.99, it has longer plans available that bring the cost down considerably. For instance, it has one- and two-year plans, both of which cost less than $5 per month.
Its three-year plan is the best option, though, costing just $2.29 per month. It also has a lengthy 45-day money-back guarantee (14 days on the monthly plan), in case you're not satisfied.
Proton VPN has free U.S. servers available, but you'll need the paid version to access Hulu.
More details about Proton VPN:
Provider website: protonvpn.com
Servers in various U.S. cities
Excellent free version
Free servers can't access Hulu
Free servers can be slower
Like Windscribe, Proton VPN has both a paid and free plan. The paid plan gives you access to its large server network, including servers in U.S. locations. The free plan only includes three locations — the U.S., Netherlands and Japan — but each location has multiple servers. Aside from free servers, the main things that set ProtonVPN and Windscribe apart are speed and data.
While Windscribe's free plan has a 15GB data cap, ProtonVPN provides unlimited data for free. Conversely, Windscribe provides fast speeds on both the free and paid plans, whereas ProtonVPN's free servers can be slower. That's mostly because there are a lot of users connected to them, making the speed drop, but you can learn more about that in our Proton VPN review.
Proton VPN's Paid Plan
That said, you'll need the paid plan to access Hulu. We tried multiple free VPN servers, but Hulu could detect that we weren't in the U.S. at the time.
The paid plan won't break the bank, but it's still $4.99 per month on the two-year plan, more than NordVPN or Surfshark for the same duration. Still, it's a feature-rich VPN and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you want to give it a whirl.
Hulu Not Working? Troubleshoot Common Errors
First and foremost, make sure you're using a VPN that can actually access Hulu. Even then, though, there might be times when it just doesn't work the way you want it to. Thankfully, there's usually an easy fix. If you're denied access to Hulu while connected to a U.S. VPN server, there are a couple of things you can try to resolve the issue.
Switch to Another Server
This is the easiest solution and will usually fix the issue. Simply go to your VPN app and connect to a different U.S. server. Doing so will get you a new U.S. IP address and, hopefully, fool Hulu — and other streaming platforms — into letting you in.
If it doesn't work the first time, try again with yet another server. With some VPNs, you'll need to try this a few times before you're successful.
Clear Your Cache & Cookies
Your cache and cookies can hold your IP address or geographic information that tells the streaming service where you really are. Deleting them both may help you access the service. Using a private browser window can usually solve this issue too.
You can delete your cache and cookies within the browser menu.
Clear Your DNS Cache
Your DNS cache may also be creating a problem, but it's easy to clear. You just need to use the Command Prompt on Windows or the Terminal on macOS. Once you've opened the terminal, type in the relevant command below EXACTLY and press enter. You'll also need to enter your password on macOS:
Windows: ipconfig/flushdns
MacOS: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Change the VPN Protocol
VPNs come with at least a couple of different protocols to choose from. If you can't access Hulu, it might be helpful to change the protocol you're using. You can do this by going to your VPN settings menu. If you're using ExpressVPN, its Lightway protocol is the best one to use, but OpenVPN and IKEv2 also work perfectly well.
Changing your VPN protocol can often help you access Hulu and other streaming services successfully.
Contact Your VPN Support Team
With some VPN services, you can contact support via live chat and ask if there's a Hulu-optimized server. If there is, the support team will happily tell you which server to use.
Check for DNS Leaks
High-quality VPNs like ExpressVPN or NordVPN shouldn't suffer from DNS leaks, thanks to built-in DNS leak protection. However, if there is a DNS leak, the VPN is leaking your true IP address, meaning Hulu can see where you really are.
You can check for DNS leaks using a free tool like IPv6 Test. It's simple enough to use — just open the tool and see if your real IP and Internet Service Provider (ISP) address are listed. If they are, you have a DNS leak. This means your connection itself is not secure, so the best solution is to switch to a different VPN provider.
If you don't know your real IP address, just visit your IP testing website of choice while your VPN isn't active.
Use SmartDNS
Many VPNs have a SmartDNS feature, just like ExpressVPN's MediaStreamer. By using this instead of the full VPN service, you're able to spoof your location at the DNS level, meaning Hulu can't detect your true location.
Just remember that SmartDNS doesn't include encryption, so your online activity isn't secure. It's a great feature, though, if you have a device that doesn't natively support VPN apps, such as Apple TV or some smart TV models.
Invest in a Dedicated IP Address
A dedicated IP address can help you access Hulu more easily. A residential IP address is preferable, since it looks more like a regular household IP address. However, these usually come at an extra cost, so it really depends on your budget.
Disable IPv6
If your VPN doesn't support IPv6 traffic, the VPN can accidentally leak your true IP address while visiting an IPv6 site. The unsupported traffic will travel outside your VPN's encrypted tunnel, meaning your real IP address is not masked. Choose a VPN that has IPv6 leak protection or disable IPv6 on your device.
On macOS, go to system preferences>network>advanced>TCP/IP>configure IPv6 to off. Alternatively, turn off IPv6 via the Mac Terminal by typing in networksetup -listallnetworkservices > Type networksetup -setv6off "Wi-Fi"
On Windows, go to network and internet settings>network and sharing center>select your network>properties>uncheck internet protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and click close.
As you can see in most of the fixes above, the main reason a VPN can't get into Hulu is because Hulu can detect your true IP address. That can work the same way with the IP addresses that VPNs assign.
Hulu monitors IP addresses. If there's any indication that an address is connected with a VPN or other unblocking tool, such as a proxy, Hulu blocks it. The IP address is then added to a blocklist, so if the same IP address tries to access Hulu again, it'll block it straight away.
While VPN services have thousands of IP addresses, there is a chance that you might get connected to one that has already been blocklisted. If that happens, you've got no chance of accessing the service. That's why switching to a different server and getting a different IP address usually works.
Hulu has a good reason for doing this: to keep in line with its licensing agreements. If Hulu allows someone outside the U.S. to view its content, it's in breach of its contract with the content owners. For that reason, Hulu does what it can to block VPNs and other location-spoofing tools.
Now you know why Hulu tries to block VPNs, which VPNs are the best at dodging Hulu's blocking attempts and what to do if your VPN has trouble accessing Hulu. If you're outside the U.S. and want to access Hulu's streaming library — including movies like The Resident and Prison Break— pick the best VPN for Hulu.
ExpressVPN is without a doubt the best choice here, due to its fast speeds and ability to unblock Hulu and other major streaming sites. If you need something a little more wallet-friendly, though, both NordVPN and Surfshark are good options. All come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Have you been blocked from accessing Hulu while using a VPN? If so, how did you get around the block? Which VPN were you using? Let us know in the comments below and, as always, thanks for reading.

The Center for Land Use Interpretation Residency. Wendover, Utah. Summer 2015.
The emergent patterning of desert sage in the Great Basin appears random to human eyes. Not random, it is a spatial order scripted by local relationships - an expression of gradations in moisture and microtopography, the mineral composition of the ground, and the height and shadows of nearby rocks. The Sage Grid installations - a reordering of the desert's biotic syntax - highlight the distinct field conditions of desert brush at two sites in the Great Salt Lake Desert.
At the site of Sage Grid #1, in the salt flats of Utah, the ground-plane is a boolean patchwork of moist, pale clay and cracked, khaki-colored earth. The former is host to the bristly Bonneville Sage, one of the rare species of plant that survives here. The latter is too dry for vegetation - a vast plane of parched, craquelure crust.
Sage Grid #2 is located in the arid landscape near White Horse Pass, twenty miles south of West Wendover, Nevada. The widely-spaced brush reflects the limited availability of moisture and suggests an extensive subterranean root system. The surface between the shrubs is pocked with holes, one to four inches in diameter - vestiges of burrowing voles and insects. The plants rely on these perforations as much as the fauna: when desert rains flash flood the valley, holes retain needed moisture that otherwise fails to percolate.
Each Sage Grid installation uproots and replants existing sage into a square grid of 25, altering the relative position of each plant but not the type or overall number. The regular intervals of the grid are immediately recognizable within the larger, chaotic, field. It is a reminder that new elements need not be introduced to a site to provide a new means of seeing it.
This break in the desert schema is, moreover, an anthropic mutation of the existing organization of plants at each site. An artificial, or non-natural, arrangement, the grids are uniquely human. Having this quality, they are further distinguished in the visual field, becoming orienting devices, or landmarks.
If, as Alberti says, "beauty is a form of sympathy and consonance of the parts within a body, according to definite number, outline, and position," then this installation, a calculated repositioning of existing vegetation, perverts one pillar of this axiom. The sage is not altered, which is to say, the individual plants remain as they were. Only the relationship between them - and us - has changed.
