Annoyingly, NBC (the show’s creators) isn’t distributing season 4 of This Is Us this is global partners (Amazon Prime, Channel 4 etc.) for another several months.
The logic here is understandable. NBC wants users to watch this show on its network rather than using a VPN – like this tutorial suggests – to watch the show for free elsewhere.
This means you either have to wait a few months until the show lands on Amazon Prime, or – if you can’t wait that long – use a VPN (see below) to spoof your location to the US and watch the show on NBC or Hulu.

However, the IP addresses free VPNs share their users are all over congested and are therefore easily detected/blocked by broadcasters and their VDS (video distribution services).

Which VPN’s work with NBC and Hulu?
We recommend using one of the three VPN providers below to consistently connect to NBC and Hulu. Other VPNs may work but the four below have been verified and speed tested. They also have very good customer support if you have any issues.
1. ExpressVPN

If you want the best VPN on the market, look no further than ExpressVPN ($6.66/month). It has the fastest servers, the best app, and it always works with NBC and Hulu.
It also always works with US Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, BBC iPlayer (in the UK) and loads of other online servers.
ExpressVPN is at the top of this list because it is the best VPN on the market. If you can afford to pay a little more, you will not regret it.
This VPN is extremely fast. When we performed our independent VPN speed tests, it was consistently at the top with great download/upload speeds. There are ALWAYS open servers for major streaming sites such as Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu and CBS All Access.
ExpressVPN is the best at playing Cat and Mouse with streaming sites. If an IP address is blacklisted, a new one is created. This is why there are a constant number of servers available that work with NBC and Hulu.
This VPN is easy to use and simple. You can get it on nearly all devices. Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Firestick, Android TV, Roku, PS4, Xbox, Linux and much more.
ExpressVPN is different from its competitors. Its software prioritises user management by having the customer choose their location rather than an individual server. Once you choose your location the app does the rest. A fast server that isn’t overused is assigned to you and this server will perform at lightning-fast speeds. This software is great because it prevents IP addresses being blacklisted in the first place.
ExpressVPN is slightly more expensive than the other VPNs on this list. But if you can spare the extra money, you won’t be let down.
