When I tried activating Hulu, it returned the502 Bad Gatewayerror. Upon doing some research, it became apparent that the issue is not new. There are countless reports of the error, mostly while signing in to Hulu and activating Hulu from a paid Spotify account!
For anyone wondering why Hulu says502 Bad Gateway, it’s most likely a server-side issue. But in some cases, the corrupt browsing data, issues with the DNS, or a misconfigured networking setup on your end is to be blamed.
Before you start with the troubleshooting, check for any reported Hulu server outages using a real-time monitoring service likeDowndector. If others are not facing the issue, pressCtrl+Shift+Rto refresh the page, switch toPrivate (Incognito)mode, or use another browser to stream shows on Hulu!
How can I fix Hulu error 502?
1. Clearing the browsing data
2. Flush the DNS cache
For most cases of502 Bad Gatewayerror, including with Hulu, simplyclearing and resetting the DNS cacheshall do the trick!
3. Switch to Google’s DNS
I have usedGoogle’s public DNSowing to its reliability, but you can always set thefastest DNS server near youfor better speed.
4. Reset the router/modem
If you recently modified the network connection properties via the router settings and have been getting the Hulu502 Bad Gatewayerror ever since, resetting the router/modem will get things running. This can be done via the router settings or through the dedicated reset button on the back side of the router (if available).
After the reset, you may have to create the network, set the security type, and configure other aspects. My suggestion is to go with the default settings.
5. Contact Hulu support
When nothing else works, the last option is tocontact Hulu support. If it’s a server downtime to blame, the support team will provide you with a timeline. For other cases, they should share a series of verified solutions.
As I said earlier, the502 Bad Gatewayerror in Hulu is usually caused by a server-side problem, and anything you do won’t fix things if it’s the servers to blame. Often, the problem resolves on its own within 3-12 hours!
