Diversion: How to block ads on Paramount Plus

[rtn66uftw]

Hi all. I want to block ads on Paramount+ while watching live sports on my Android/Roku TV. Right now I can't watch any live sports with Diversion installed. Streaming existing content worked on Roku devices only. On my computers, I had to disable uBlock origin to be able to watch live sports on web browsers.
How do I go about blocking ads on Paramount+? Thanks in advance!

This is the domain log from uBlock if it helps

Right now I can't watch any live sports with Diversion installed.

I think you've answered your own question here...

On my computers, I had to disable uBlock origin to be able to watch live sports on web browsers.

Paramount+ is obviously not allowing the stream when ad blocking is present.

Paramount Plus is picky with Ads and allowing streaming still. With AGH I had to whitelist a few domains to get adblocking to work whilst still being able to stream content.

Have you tried adding those same domains to the Diversion whitelist.

Blocking ads using Adguard or Diversion (or PiHole for that matter) uses DNS style blocking. This kind of blocking does not work with most streaming sites as those sites serve their own ads so DNS based blocking will not work.

I don’t use Diversion.

The adblocking works using AGH after whitelisting a domain or two to allow streaming but still block ads.

Oops, thought you were the OP.

Head over to SlickDeals, get yourself a fresh Paramount+ premium trial (with a different email and a different credit card) - and you should be ad free for a few good weeks

What domain that you whitelist? Thanks

Used to do that but got tired of entering code every month

It's more like 3 months, 1 original trial, 2nd for cancelling then taking the extension, 3rd - they try to bill you but credit card is locked so they try billing you for a few weeks.

Entirely too much "work" for old man Griswald.
