Using a VPN is straightforward; follow these steps.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As noted, NordVPN is our preferred option.

Why is 'Ruthless' moving from BET+ to Paramount?
Paramount owns the BET+ service, but it's planning to shut down that division and migrate select titles to the Paramount+ service instead.
Tyler Perry is at the heart of all of this. Paramount acquired the creator's stake in BET, sparking the merger between the two companies.
Thankfully, "Ruthless" is one of the most popular shows on BET and it's going to be looked after on Paramount+ rather than falling by the wayside.
