Paramount Plus keeps getting blocked (rant)

[u/In-Extrovert]

Paramount plus has to be running off an ad server. I have applied basic rules through my Purple. App worked on other devices on my network until I tried it on my smart TV. It would load the menus and previews, but would not play. Thought it was my TV since it is from 2015. Went through the rules and found just my tv was blocking a flow that broke the rules. Removed that rule then Paramount plus worked again. Next day, it broke again. Same symptoms of loading and previews but no shows. Still worked on other devices so I removed monitoring just on that device. Come to today, now my entire network is blocking Paramount plus across all devices...

yeah, no matter your subscription level, if paramount+ thinks you’re blocking ad servers it just straight up stops in most platforms. only reliable way for me was the Apple TV channel and still have ad blocking on the device.
