Access Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil from 🇯🇵 Japan
Star+ no longer exists as a separate app in Brazil: it merged into Disney+ in mid-2024. Its sports (ESPN) and general entertainment catalog moved into Disney+ plans. Expect 250–300 ms from Japan to São Paulo — high ping, but irrelevant for streaming: the player buffers a few seconds and plays smoothly.
What Star+ (agora Disney+) carries — and how the block works
What used to be Star+ — ESPN live sport, adult-oriented series and movies — now lives in Disney+ Brazil under the plan that includes ESPN.
You need a Brazilian Disney+ subscription tier with ESPN for the live sport. The Brazilian catalog and BR live channels require a Brazilian IP to stream.
Watching from Japan: timezones, latency, community
Japan runs 12 hours ahead of BrasÃlia: a 21:30 night game in Brazil kicks off at 09:30 the next morning in Tokyo. Weekend mornings become football mornings.
Expect 250–300 ms from Japan to São Paulo — high ping, but irrelevant for streaming: the player buffers a few seconds and plays smoothly.
Japan hosts one of the oldest Brazilian communities abroad — the dekassegui community around Aichi, Shizuoka, and Gunma — with deep ties to Brazilian TV and football.
The setup, start to finish
The flow with tunells.online is the same on every platform, and the free trial (24 hours, no card) exists precisely so you can validate it on your own network first.
- Create your tunells.online account — no card needed to start.
- In the dashboard, add a device and open its QR code (or download the .conf on desktop).
- Scan it with the WireGuard app and activate the tunnel.
- Confirm the Brazilian IP (search "my IP") and open your streaming app.
Tips to avoid trouble on match day
- Searching for the old Star+ app? Skip it — install Disney+, subscribe to the Brazilian plan with ESPN, and connect with a Brazilian IP before opening live channels.
- Japan runs 12 hours ahead of BrasÃlia: a 21:30 night game in Brazil kicks off at 09:30 the next morning in Tokyo. Weekend mornings become football mornings.
- Connect the VPN before opening the streaming app; many apps cache your region at launch.
- Generate one key per device (2 included) — sharing one QR across devices makes connections drop each other.

FAQ
My Star+ subscription disappeared. What happened?
Disney migrated Star+ accounts into Disney+ in 2024. Your content is there — but Brazilian live sport still checks for a Brazilian IP.
Is the speed enough for streaming from Japan?
Expect 250–300 ms from Japan to São Paulo — high ping, but irrelevant for streaming: the player buffers a few seconds and plays smoothly.
Is my connection private?
WireGuard encrypts all traffic between your device and the Brazilian exit with modern cryptography (ChaCha20-Poly1305). Your local network and ISP see only encrypted packets.
What if it doesn't work for my platform?
That is what the free trial is for — validate with your actual platform and network before paying. If something misbehaves, support responds directly through the site.
