Globoplay sells an international plan in 21 countries, but some of its content stays in Brazil. GhostShield has no Brazilian server; this is what it can and cannot do.

Quick answer

Outside Brazil, Globoplay sells a separate international plan in 21 countries and keeps its live-channel bundle for Brazil. GhostShield has no Brazilian server, so it cannot unlock Brazil-only content; it can give international subscribers an address in a listed country while they travel, though it has not tested Globoplay.

Step by Step

Setup Guide

01

Subscribe to Globoplay's international plan through the App Store or Google Play in one of its 21 countries, or sign in to the plan you have.

02

If you travel to a country outside that list, connect GhostShield to a location inside it, ideally the country you subscribed from.

03

Open Globoplay at globoplay.globo.com or in the app. GhostShield has not tested Globoplay, and Canaltech calls VPN use unofficial and at your own risk.

04

GhostShield has no server in Brazil, so content Globoplay keeps for Brazil stays out of reach.

Server Info

Regions & Servers

Available Regions

Brazil, plus Globoplay's international plan in 21 countries: the US, Canada, Japan, Australia and 17 European countries including Portugal, the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy (Canaltech, April 2022).

Recommended Servers

No Brazilian server. 16 of GhostShield's 20 locations are in international-plan countries: US (Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Palo Alto), Canada, UK (London), France (Paris, Gravelines), Germany (Limburg), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Ireland (Dublin), Italy (Milan), Spain, Switzerland, Japan (Osaka) and Australia (Sydney).

Globoplay is Globo's streaming service, launched in Brazil on 3 November 2015. It reaches Brazilians abroad through a separate international plan: Globo launched it in the United States in 2020 and in Canada and Europe from 14 October 2021; citing government figures, Notícias da TV said the move would reach about 1.1 million Brazilians living in those countries (Notícias da TV). By April 2022 the list covered 21 countries: the US, Canada, Japan, Australia and 17 in Europe (Canaltech).

The international plan is bought through the App Store or Google Play, and the Brazilian bundle with live channels, Globoplay + canais ao vivo, is not sold abroad (Canaltech). At the launch in Portugal, the service abroad was presented with seven live channels: Globo, Multishow, GloboNews, GNT, VIVA, SporTV and Premiere. Its international distribution director said the catalogue was structurally the same as Brazil's but could have some limitations; in Portugal, titles then shown on the SIC channel were left out (NaTelinha).

That decides what a VPN can do. GhostShield has no server in Brazil, so it cannot make Globoplay think you are there, and nothing reserved for Brazil comes back through it. What it can do is give you an address in one of the international plan's countries: 16 of its 20 locations are in them, from Miami and New York to London, Paris, Osaka and Sydney.

The only group it might help is international subscribers travelling to a country outside the list, such as the UAE, India or Singapore, and GhostShield has not tested Globoplay. Canaltech cautions that using a VPN with Globoplay is not an official method, may not work, and is at the user's own risk, with possible consequences for the account.

How It Works

Why Globoplay Shows Different Content

Globoplay decides what you get from two things: the plan you hold and the country your connection comes from. A Brazilian address serves the Brazilian service, an address in one of the 21 international countries serves the international plan, and elsewhere neither is sold.

Because GhostShield has no Brazilian location, it is the wrong tool for anything Globoplay keeps for Brazil, including the live-channel bundle. The one case where it might help is keeping an international subscription reachable while you travel outside the list, which Canaltech calls unofficial and GhostShield has not tested. It also gives you privacy on hotel and airport Wi-Fi.

Is Using a VPN with Globoplay Legal?

Globoplay sells its international plan only in the listed countries and keeps the live-channel bundle for Brazil. Canaltech describes using a VPN to reach Globoplay as unofficial and at the user's own risk, with possible consequences for the account, and Globoplay publishes no VPN policy in the sources linked here. This is not legal advice; the rules of the country you are in apply.

What Makes a Good Streaming VPN?

Globoplay does not publish a speed figure in the sources linked here. The tunnel adds a little overhead; distance matters more, so use the GhostShield location nearest to you within a listed country: Miami or New York in the Americas, Paris, London, Spain or Milan in Europe, Osaka or Sydney in Asia and Oceania.

Troubleshooting

Fix Common Globoplay Errors

Globoplay says the content is not available where you are

Either the title is not in the international catalogue, which no GhostShield location can change, or you are connected to a location outside the list: Dubai, Hong Kong, Mumbai and Singapore are outside it. Switch to a location in a listed country.

You cannot buy the live-channel bundle abroad

Globoplay + canais ao vivo is sold in Brazil only. Abroad, the international plan is the one on sale, through the App Store or Google Play.

A novela you saw in Brazil is missing

The international catalogue can differ from Brazil's; in Portugal, for example, titles shown on SIC were left out at launch. A VPN cannot add titles that are not in your plan's catalogue.

The app keeps the old location

Close the app or clear cookies for globo.com, connect GhostShield first, then open Globoplay again.
