Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil WireGuard setup on Chromebook
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. ChromeOS runs Android apps, so the official WireGuard Android app from the Play Store is the practical route on any recent Chromebook.
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.
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
- 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.
- School- or work-managed Chromebooks may block VPN apps by policy — check with the administrator before troubleshooting connection issues.
- 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.
