Globoplay WireGuard setup on Chromebook
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. ChromeOS runs Android apps, so the official WireGuard Android app from the Play Store is the practical route on any recent Chromebook.
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 Chromebook
ChromeOS runs Android apps, so the official WireGuard Android app from the Play Store is the practical route on any recent Chromebook.
- Open the Play Store on the Chromebook and install "WireGuard".
- Create a device in the tunells.online dashboard and download the .conf (or scan the QR with the webcam).
- Import the tunnel in the app and toggle it on.
- ChromeOS routes browser and Android traffic through the tunnel.
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
- If the app already shows the international catalog, log out, connect the VPN, then log back in — the catalog is decided at session start.
- School- or work-managed Chromebooks may block VPN apps by policy — check with the administrator before troubleshooting connection issues.
- Revoke old devices in the dashboard when you sell or replace hardware.
- For live sport, prefer ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi — packet loss hurts streams more than ping does.

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.
Does WireGuard run well on Chromebook?
ChromeOS runs Android apps, so the official WireGuard Android app from the Play Store is the practical route on any recent Chromebook.
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.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 24 hours trial requires only a verified account — subscribe later if it works for you.
