Watch Globoplay from 🇵🇹 Portugal
Globoplay is Globo's streaming service and the largest in Brazil. There is an international version of the app, but its catalog is heavily reduced — most novelas, live TV Globo, and sports are only available with a Brazilian IP. 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 Globoplay carries — and how the block works
Novelas (current and classics), Big Brother Brasil with exclusive cameras, TV Globo live feed, journalism, and football via the Premiere add-on.
Requires a Conta Globo. Subscriptions are billed in reais; foreign cards usually work on the website. The key restriction is the IP: with a foreign IP you land on the limited international catalog, with a Brazilian IP you see the full one.
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
- If the app already shows the international catalog, log out, connect the VPN, then log back in — the catalog is decided at session start.
- 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.

FAQ
I have Globoplay Internacional. Why do I still need a Brazilian IP?
The international plan skips live sports, TV Globo's live feed, and part of the novela catalog. Connecting with a Brazilian IP unlocks the same catalog subscribers see inside Brazil.
Is the speed enough for streaming from Portugal?
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.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes — the paid plan includes 2 devices, each with its own key and QR code, individually revocable from the dashboard.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 24 hours trial requires only a verified account — subscribe later if it works for you.
