I made a new huluhosts.txt it contains several IPs like 20 plus cause I found that It often stops working so i used the tcpdump command you mentioned to keep watch and added them one by one
as necessary here is my list http://www.insidiousramblings.com/huluhosts.txt hope it helps someone

You need to read the instructions more carefully. In particular, to the best of my knowledge you cannot use an HTTP proxy (I’m assuming it’s Squid or similar) to proxy the Flash streams. You must use the script I wrote, or a SOCKS proxy.

I’m trying to do this with iptables, and a Squid proxy in the US. I’d like to only forward certain urls to the US proxy (hulu , pandora…) I can get pandora to work but not hulu. Any ideas?

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $interface -p tcp -d http://www.pandora.com –dport 80 -j DNAT –to 321.321.321.321:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $interface -p tcp -d releasegeo.hulu.com –dport 80 -j DNAT –to 321.321.321.321:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $interface -p tcp -d 205.241.224.0/24 –dport 80 -j DNAT –to 321.321.321.321:3128

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $interface -p tcp –dport 80 -j REDIRECT –to-ports $HTTP_PROXY_PORT

Thanks

thanks for posting all this

fwiw it appears that ipfw forwarding is broken on mac os x 10.6.x – so if you run into trouble with this & are using snow leopard – there’s the problem :P

Automatic updates to /etc/hosts for those who want it

Just wanted to thank you for this list, I ended up routing it over a VPN but I still need your /etc/hosts file to know what to route and what to leave on my normal connection. Much appreciated. Also, I recently stopped being able to get on and found that the IP address 205.241.224.46 on hulu’s end was being accessed on the flash streaming port. It wasn’t one I had previously been routing over the VPN. Maybe useful for someone else.

Updated /etc/hosts again

Does this still work for others?

I’m server geoCheck and crossdomain correctly (and a result pass the geocheck on the support page), but still get blocked with a non-us/proxy notice.

Thanks for the reply.

If I use your rewrite I rule I get a 404 on both http://releasegeo.hulu.com/ and http://releasegeo.hulu.com/geoCheck

If I take the /$1 off the end, I get a printout of the path.cgi, without it being parsed or executed.

Here’s my complete VirtualHost

DocumentRoot /root/releasegeo/apache
ServerName releasegeo.hulu.com

# Other directives here
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi/$1

The path.cgi script is not meant to be executed from the command line. Try using something like:
RewriteRule ^(.*) /a/b/c/path.cgi/$1
