How To Fix Hulu Error P-EDU101?

The first thing to do to get rid of this proxy error is to disable your VPN and use one compatible with Hulu. Many great VPN services mask your IP addresses and replace them with ones from the supported country, allowing you to access geo-restricted apps.

We recommend you uninstall your VPN or disable it before installing another one. Using free or anonymous proxies can leak your IP address to Hulu’s servers if you are trying to access them from outside Japan and U.S. In this case, Hulu blocks your IP address, and you cannot access the app.

Here is a list of premium VPNs that are compatible with Hulu, and you can install one of them to connect to Hulu’s servers and continue streaming:

1. SurfShark
2. ExpressVPN
3. CyberGhost
4. ProtonVPN
5. IPVanish

Disable VPN

A virtual private network works by changing your IP address to protect your identity online and allowing you to access content that is not available in your region. Sometimes it can slow down your internet connection and cause streaming errors.

Follow these steps to disable VPN on your PC:

1. Click on the Windows icon in the bottom left of your Taskbar.
2. Choose the gear icon to open Windows Settings.
3. Select “Network & Internet” settings.

   

4. Choose VPN from Network settings.

   

5. Choose your installed VPN and click “Disconnect” to turn it off.

   

Run Internet Speed Test

A slow internet connection can lead to streaming errors on Hulu and sometimes give proxy errors. You need at least 8 Mbps for live streaming on Hulu and 16 Mbps for 4k streaming.

Conduct an internet speed test on your device to determine if your internet bandwidth falls within the required range.

If it is less than 8 Mbps, contact your internet service provider for an upgrade to continue streaming on Hulu. Keep in mind Hulu’s internet speed recommendations to work out your new internet plan.

You can go to Fast.com to find out your internet speed.

Contact Internet Service Provider

You may be unable to stream Hulu on a public network such as one in the hospital, café, school, or other public places. Streaming platforms are mostly restricted on public networks due to the limited bandwidth that has to be shared between a large number of connected devices.

Try connecting to a different network to ensure the problem lies with your network connection. If Hulu works fine on another internet connection, your network has likely blocked it.

You can contact your internet provider for help and check whether Hulu’s IP address has been banned on your network. In that case, you will need to get it unblocked or change your network.
