How does this compare to OpenSSH VPN and Socks Support[1]? [1] - http://wiki.enigmacurry.com/OpenSSH

Very much different. He explains it in the article quite clearly. No need to manually configure clients to use the proxy, as it uses the client's firewall to forward connections.

Would this circumvent the checks Hulu does for example by forcing Flash to always connect directly. i.e using SOCKS Proxy will not work with Hulu but using full VPN will, so how will sshuttle rate ?

Full VPN. It supports both TCP and UDP. You just need a ssh account on the remote server.

But plain OpenVPN uses the normal IP routing machinery to send stuff over the VPN, which is even easier.
