The CBS All Access name has been around for a while, but the time has come for a full rebrand Paramount Plus is the latest in a streaming service that aims to be a one-stop shop for entertainment

Now not limited to just CBS content, Paramount Plus has incorporated content from Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and BET, essentially bringing together CBS and CBS Sports live streams alongside ViacomCBS's all divisions under one roof

However, while it is relatively easy to access Paramount Plus within the US, if you are outside the US, even for a fee, you may run into problems So here is exactly how to watch Paramount Plus anywhere in the world

If you're in the US, watching Paramount Plus couldn't be easier

If you have a CBS All Access subscription, that subscription will carry over and become a Paramount Plus subscription Of course, new customers can also sign up for Paramount Plus

If you are not already a subscriber, you can subscribe for as little as $599/month, although ads will be displayed However, ads will be displayed If you want to skip the ads, you can subscribe for $999/month Both plans offer a 15% discount if you choose to pay annually (to take advantage of this, select the "15% off" checkbox when selecting your plan)

Outside the US, the situation is slightly different

Paramount Plus will launch in a variety of regions and devices (check out the Paramount Plus app guide for more information), but essentially the US will get it all first and in full Canadian subscribers will be restricted first, and there is no word on when (or if) UK and other European subscribers will have access

If you are already a Paramount Plus subscriber and are outside the US, the most efficient way to access it is to change locations with the best VPN Select a VPN server in the US and go to the Paramount Plus site or app Then enter your details, sign in, and start watching

Our top recommendation is ExpressVPN, thanks to its super simple and powerful app, excellent unblocking capabilities, and plethora of server locations worldwide

The same can be done if you are in a country where Paramount Plus selection is restricted For example, if you are in Canada and want to access the full Paramount Plus service in the US, all you need to do is sign up for the service and change your location to the US using a VPN Then you will be able to access everything that is offered

For the US, signing up for Paramount Plus is very easy

All you need to do is go to the Paramount Plus website and select a plan Follow the instructions, enter your credit card information, and you're done

If you already subscribe to CBS All Access, you don't need to do that For now, everything is still the same, so you can log into Paramount Plus with your old account information

If you live in the US (or at least have a US credit card), you can sign up for Paramount Plus wherever you are

All you need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your location to the US, and head to the Paramount Plus website as usual Then enter your US credit card information and start watching

If you don't have a US credit card, you can get around this by purchasing a digital CBS All Access gift card at a retailer such as Walmart; once you connect to the US server via VPN, you can use it to pay for Paramount Plus wherever you are

If you subscribe to Paramount Plus, you can also watch on Roku; simply install the Paramount Plus channel on your Roku, enter your details and log in to start streaming

However, if you want to use a VPN to view Paramount Plus on a Roku outside the US, you will need to install a router VPN This is because the Roku device itself does not support VPN It's a little more complicated than on a desktop or smartphone, but our top choice, ExpressVPN, makes it super easy with a dedicated router app and an easy-to-follow tutorial

The Paramount Plus app is available in the Amazon Appstore, and all you need to do is download it and sign in with your Fire Stick's associated credentials Paramount Plus is also available through each streaming provider's app

Additionally, since the Fire Stick is Android-based, it also supports VPNs If you want to watch Paramount Plus on a Fire Stick outside the US, see our guide to the best Fire Stick VPN services available

The first and most important reason to use a VPN with Paramount Plus is to be able to access paid content anywhere in the world So even if you are currently in Canada, the UK, or any other country, you can connect to the US servers and log into Paramount Plus as if you were in your living room

And that's not all If you have a good Internet connection but your content is buffering or playing in low quality, you may be suffering from network throttling

This occurs when your ISP detects high bandwidth usage of your connection and intentionally slows you down to make sure everyone gets similar speeds High bandwidth usage includes torrenting, gaming, and of course streaming HD content

VPNs anonymize the purpose of your connection usage, so the provider does not know that you are streaming As a result, the provider cannot slow down your connection [Therefore, if you want to watch Paramount Plus abroad and want to keep your personal information secure, a secure VPN is the perfect solution
