Watch Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil on Linux abroad
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. 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 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 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
- 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.
- Check the handshake anytime with `sudo wg show` — a recent "latest handshake" means the tunnel is healthy.
- 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?
