Hulu is primarily a US service, but it has expanded a little into Japan. Anyways, when you log into Hulu, it checks your account to see what level of service you have, and it will verify your IP address to identify where you are. Hulu then compares your location to the licensing database that tells the service what content to display.
Geo-location control is a relatively unsophisticated system, but it works. As usual, it is the consumer who loses out. The only way to view restricted content in Hulu is to make Hulu think you are in an approved country. This maneuver is where a VPN or Proxy is needed. More details are below. If a streaming service checks your IP address to see where you are, you need to acquire an IP address that makes it look like you are in a territory for the content you want to see, as briefly mentioned for Hulu and Netflix above.
The US has the broadest range of titles, simply because most license holders are based here and start their license sales efforts here too. Europe comes next.
Australia and the Pacific countries usually trail behind, and the rest of the world waits patiently, or not so patiently in some situations. There are two ways to hide your location and change your IP address.

Furthermore, proxies are slow and not secure. For the most part, the streaming providers have the upper hand in this contest.
The other option is to use a VPN. No logging means that the VPN provider will not keep activity logs for users. Even if they receive a court order or subpoena, they have no way to tell a court what you do online as there will be no record of what you did.

You have to sign in with your Netflix credentials, but you're not giving them to Smartflix - it opens a window inside the app and you sign in on Netflix directly, and an India account works just fine - so this should mean that there won't be a security issue with using the site, though of course, it's not possible to rule it out entirely.
