Watch Globoplay on Samsung TV abroad
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. Samsung TVs run Tizen, which has no WireGuard app. The reliable options are a WireGuard router (everything behind it exits via Brazil), an Android TV stick plugged into the HDMI, or phone hotspot sharing.
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.
Step by step on Samsung TV (Tizen)
Samsung TVs run Tizen, which has no WireGuard app. The reliable options are a WireGuard router (everything behind it exits via Brazil), an Android TV stick plugged into the HDMI, or phone hotspot sharing.
- Router route: import your tunells.online .conf into a WireGuard-capable router (GL.iNet travel routers make this easy) and connect the TV to that network.
- Stick route: plug an Android TV / Fire TV stick into the Samsung TV and run WireGuard on the stick instead.
- Hotspot route: connect your phone's VPN, enable hotspot, and point the TV's Wi-Fi at the phone.
- Reopen the streaming app after the TV is on the Brazilian route.
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
- If the app already shows the international catalog, log out, connect the VPN, then log back in — the catalog is decided at session start.
- The router option is set-and-forget: the TV never knows a VPN exists, so no app-level tricks are needed and every app on the TV sees Brazil.
- 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.

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.
Does WireGuard run well on Samsung TV (Tizen)?
Samsung TVs run Tizen, which has no WireGuard app. The reliable options are a WireGuard router (everything behind it exits via Brazil), an Android TV stick plugged into the HDMI, or phone hotspot sharing.
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.
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.
