Unblock SBT from 🇵🇹 Portugal
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. Portugal has direct submarine cables to Brazil (EllaLink), so latency to São Paulo can be as low as 100–160 ms — among the best in Europe.
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.
Watching from Portugal: timezones, latency, community
Lisbon is 3–4 hours ahead of BrasÃlia. Sunday-afternoon Brasileirão games land in the Portuguese evening — the best time slot for expats in Europe.

Portugal hosts the largest Brazilian community in Europe — hundreds of thousands strong — and Brazilian TV, BBB, and futebol are part of daily life there.
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
- 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.
- Lisbon is 3–4 hours ahead of BrasÃlia. Sunday-afternoon Brasileirão games land in the Portuguese evening — the best time slot for expats in Europe.
- Revoke old devices in the dashboard when you sell or replace hardware.
- For live sport, prefer ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi — packet loss hurts streams more than ping does.
