VPN to watch handmaiden tale

[MargaretMouse]

I’m not tech savvy at all... so what is the easiest and cheapest way to allow me to watch handmaiden tale, my son says surf shark is good and I heard Hulu, but I have no idea... any help please for a complete novice.

I don't really know what a VPN does but I know we have it included in our "Norton LifeLock" Antivirus program that we pay a yearly subscription for. So have you got something like that already?

I just streamed it from vumoo rather than using a VPN and watched on my laptop.

I don't think a VPN is what you want - or, at least, a VPN on it's own won't help you.

Channel 4 usually shows Handmaid's Tale here in the UK and will probably be showing Season 4 sometime in the future. They used to have the earlier seasons available to stream on "All 4" a while back, but it doesn't look like it's available at the moment:

You can watch Seasons 1 to 3 of Handmaid's Tale on Amazon Prime though. It's available here, but you'll need to sign up for Amazon Prime:

You don't need a VPN for either of the above.

Amongst other things, a VPN is used to make it appear like you're in another country so that you can view things on websites in that other country. I believe Handmaid's Tale is on Hulu in America and they are just starting to show season 4. So a VPN could maybe be used to access Hulu in the States. However you'd also need a subscription to Hulu, which requires a US-issued form of payment. Therefore, unless you have a subscription to Hulu, having a VPN won't help

I’m going to stream rather than watch via a VPN.

I’m desperate to catch up to the US schedule so I don’t have my viewing spoiled by spoilers.

If you mean stream from an illegal content site then you should really do that via a VPN. If you mean stream from an official source then no need.
