Watch SBT on Linux abroad
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. 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 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.
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.
The setup, start to finish
The flow with tunells.online is the same on every platform, and the free trial (24 hours, no card) exists precisely so you can validate it on your own network first.
- 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.
- 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.
