SBT WireGuard setup on Mac
SBT is one of Brazil's biggest free-to-air networks. Its streaming service, +SBT, offers the live channel feed and a big library at no cost with a simple registration. The official WireGuard app is on the Mac App Store and lives in the menu bar. It imports .conf files directly and supports per-network on-demand rules.
What SBT carries — and how the block works
The live SBT feed, classic and current shows, Silvio Santos archive material, telenovelas, and occasional live football with SBT's own commentary.
Free with an email registration — no Brazilian card or CPF needed. The live feed and rights-restricted shows require a Brazilian IP.
Step by step on Mac
The official WireGuard app is on the Mac App Store and lives in the menu bar. It imports .conf files directly and supports per-network on-demand rules.
- Install "WireGuard" from the Mac App Store.
- Download the .conf file for your device from the tunells.online dashboard.
- In WireGuard: "Import tunnel(s) from file" and select the .conf.
- Click Activate — the menu bar icon fills in while connected.
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
- Because +SBT is free, it is a great first test after connecting: if the live feed plays, your Brazilian IP is working for every other platform too.
- Use on-demand rules to auto-activate the tunnel on your home Wi-Fi and skip it on networks where you do not need a Brazilian IP.
- For live sport, prefer ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi — packet loss hurts streams more than ping does.
- Connect the VPN before opening the streaming app; many apps cache your region at launch.
