Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil WireGuard setup on Fire TV
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. Fire TV runs Fire OS (Android-based). The WireGuard Android app installs from the Amazon Appstore or via sideload, and works with the remote for basic navigation.
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 Fire TV
Fire TV runs Fire OS (Android-based). The WireGuard Android app installs from the Amazon Appstore or via sideload, and works with the remote for basic navigation.
- Search "WireGuard" in the Amazon Appstore (or sideload the APK with the Downloader app).
- Download your .conf from the dashboard and transfer it (Send Files to TV works well), or use the QR with a paired phone.
- Import the tunnel in the WireGuard app and activate it.
- Open the streaming app after the tunnel is up.
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
- 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.
- Fire TV remembers the tunnel between reboots, but streaming apps cache region on login — sign in to them with the VPN already connected the first time.
- 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.
