Paramount Plus might think you're using a VPN due to your IP address appearing to come from a location typically associated with VPN servers. This can happen if your internet service provider assigns you an IP that's been used by VPNs, or if there's an error in Paramount Plus's location detection system. To resolve this, try disconnecting from any VPN service, restarting your router to obtain a new IP address, or contacting Paramount Plus support for direct assistance.
