Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil WireGuard setup on Smart 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. Most Smart TVs cannot run WireGuard directly — but there are three reliable routes: an Android TV/Google TV device (native app), a travel router running WireGuard, or sharing your phone's VPN via hotspot.
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 Smart TV
Most Smart TVs cannot run WireGuard directly — but there are three reliable routes: an Android TV/Google TV device (native app), a travel router running WireGuard, or sharing your phone's VPN via hotspot.
- Easiest: plug in an Android TV / Google TV stick and install the WireGuard app from the Play Store, then import the tunnel via QR or file.
- Best quality: flash a travel router (GL.iNet and similar) with your tunells.online .conf — everything connected to it exits through Brazil.
- Quick fix: enable the VPN on your phone and share its connection via hotspot to the TV.
- Open the streaming app on the TV after the VPN route is active.
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.
- If the TV app still shows a region error, sign out of the app on the TV and back in while connected — many TV apps cache the region at login.
- Connect the VPN before opening the streaming app; many apps cache your region at launch.
- Generate one key per device (2 included) — sharing one QR across devices makes connections drop each other.

Is my connection private?
WireGuard encrypts all traffic between your device and the Brazilian exit with modern cryptography (ChaCha20-Poly1305). Your local network and ISP see only encrypted packets.
