Hello.
What protocol are you using?
PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN.

If you are using one of PPTP or L2PT (I think) you can configure it in your networks connection setup under proxy settings.
Though if you are using those protocols I hope you are not paying for your VPN.

If you are using OpenVPN there is no direct way to make the Wii U connect.
You could try configuring your router to route all traffic through the VPN although this may reduce your speed.
The best way if you are using OpenVPN is to probably make the Wii U to connect to the internet through another computer that is using OpenVPN.

E.G.
Connecting your Wii U to your computer via Ethernet and enable connection sharing on your computer. (You could connect it via wifi but speeds may decrease.)
However you may want to get a dedicated device to do this such as a Raspberry Pie. (You could also apply an adblock and tracker blocks at the same time.)

Here is what (I think) you do:

  • Go to your Wii U system settings.
  • select internet > connect to the internet > connection list (top right hand corner or 'X')
  • Select you existing connection > change settings > proxy settings.

Insert you information into there and choose to enable "basic authentication" then hopefully everything is a go.

Are you trying to access Netflix outside of the UK/USA? If you are then just change the DNS settings on the Wii U, saves you all the hassle of having to set up a VPN
