Premiere WireGuard setup on Linux
Premiere is Globo's pay-per-view football package — the traditional way to follow the Brasileirão Série A and B week after week, now sold through Globoplay. WireGuard is built into the Linux kernel (5.6+). You get the cleanest, fastest implementation of all platforms — via wg-quick, NetworkManager, or systemd-networkd.
What Premiere carries — and how the block works
Most Brasileirão Série A and Série B matches live, state championships, and Copa do Brasil games, with multiple simultaneous streams on match days.
Sold as a Globoplay add-on billed in reais. Live matches are the most geo-sensitive content Globo has: without a Brazilian IP the player refuses to start, even with an active subscription.
Step by step on Linux
WireGuard is built into the Linux kernel (5.6+). You get the cleanest, fastest implementation of all platforms — via wg-quick, NetworkManager, or systemd-networkd.
- Install the tools: `sudo apt install wireguard` (Debian/Ubuntu) or the equivalent for your distro.
- Download the .conf from the tunells.online dashboard and save it as /etc/wireguard/br0.conf.
- Run `sudo wg-quick up br0` to connect (and `down` to disconnect).
- Optional: `sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@br0` to connect on boot.
Connecting in under a minute
No manual server configuration is involved — the dashboard generates everything, and the WireGuard app does the rest.
- 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
- Connect the VPN a few minutes before kickoff and open the match from the Globoplay home screen. If the player errors out, clear the app from recents and reopen it while connected.
- Check the handshake anytime with `sudo wg show` — a recent "latest handshake" means the tunnel is healthy.
- 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.

Premiere says the content is unavailable in my region. Is my subscription wasted?
No — the subscription is fine, the check is on your IP. Connect through a Brazilian server before opening the stream and the same subscription works normally.
