Globoplay WireGuard setup on Android
Globoplay is Globo's streaming service and the largest in Brazil. There is an international version of the app, but its catalog is heavily reduced — most novelas, live TV Globo, and sports are only available with a Brazilian IP. WireGuard's official Android app is on the Play Store and F-Droid. It is lightweight, works on any Android 5+ phone or tablet, and supports QR import natively.
What Globoplay carries — and how the block works
Novelas (current and classics), Big Brother Brasil with exclusive cameras, TV Globo live feed, journalism, and football via the Premiere add-on.
Requires a Conta Globo. Subscriptions are billed in reais; foreign cards usually work on the website. The key restriction is the IP: with a foreign IP you land on the limited international catalog, with a Brazilian IP you see the full one.
Step by step on Android
WireGuard's official Android app is on the Play Store and F-Droid. It is lightweight, works on any Android 5+ phone or tablet, and supports QR import natively.
- Install "WireGuard" from the Play Store.
- Create a device in your tunells.online dashboard and open its QR code.
- In the app, tap + → "Scan from QR code".
- Enable the tunnel — a key icon appears in the status bar while connected.
From zero to a Brazilian IP
The whole point of QR-based provisioning is that the setup is identical whether it is your first device or your third.
- 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
- If the app already shows the international catalog, log out, connect the VPN, then log back in — the catalog is decided at session start.
- Battery optimizers on Samsung/Xiaomi can kill the tunnel in the background. Exclude the WireGuard app from battery optimization for uninterrupted streams.
- Generate one key per device (2 included) — sharing one QR across devices makes connections drop each other.
- Revoke old devices in the dashboard when you sell or replace hardware.

FAQ
I have Globoplay Internacional. Why do I still need a Brazilian IP?
The international plan skips live sports, TV Globo's live feed, and part of the novela catalog. Connecting with a Brazilian IP unlocks the same catalog subscribers see inside Brazil.

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.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes — the paid plan includes 2 devices, each with its own key and QR code, individually revocable from the dashboard.
