Access Hulu from Outside the U.S. Without a Proxy Server
Nice article over on LifeHacker on how to access region blocked sites that offer flash video, like Hulu, without the need for a proxy.
I knew about the first part involving the headers, but blocking that specific port makes it work on so many more sites. Tested it on Hulu btw and it really does work.

SarzyNICE! It only works on about half of the sites I've tried it on (and not Hulu, unfortunately) but that's still pretty damn sweet. I can can finally watch Daily Show clips! Thanks, campion.

Sounds like the port might not actually be blocked. I haven't actually followed the step described to block it since I just used my firewall which was alot easier, but Hulu.com works fine. Also be sure to disable your Ad blocker.
Farhad2000Hint for windows users.
Do not block using the MMC method found in Reddit
Find your docs for your router and block it there.
Windows is shit at blocking the specific ports, not to mention the procedure is ridiculously convulted and complex.
I blocked that shit in my router way faster.
