The easiest way to reduce ads on Paramount+ is to upgrade to the Premium plan, which removes most commercials from on-demand content, though live TV will still include broadcast ads. If you prefer to keep the lower-cost plan, a browser ad blocker can remove many ads when streaming on a computer. For broader coverage across smart TVs, tablets, and other devices, a VPN with built-in ad blocking or a DNS-based ad blocker can filter out many ad requests before they load. Keep in mind that some trailers and sponsor spots cannot be blocked, and live TV ads are part of the stream itself.

If you use a VPN while streaming, enable split tunneling. This lets you route only your streaming app through the VPN while keeping other apps on your regular connection. It can improve speed, reduce buffering, and prevent issues with local services such as banking apps or smart home devices. It is one of the most underused VPN features for power users.
