Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil WireGuard setup on Linux
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. 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 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 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
- 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.
- Check the handshake anytime with `sudo wg show` — a recent "latest handshake" means the tunnel is healthy.
- Generate one key per device (2 included) — sharing one QR across devices makes connections drop each other.
- Revoke old devices in the dashboard when you sell or replace hardware.
