Nintendo Wii doesn't support VPN applications natively. That's why you must use CyberGhost's Smart DNS technology to change the DNS server address on your Nintendo Wii and unblock region-locked games. Here is how to download, install, and use CyberGhost VPN on Nintendo Wii. Have a look.

The Smart DNS feature doesn't comprise all the VPN benefits. So, if you want to ensure complete security to your online traffic on Nintendo Wii/Wii U, install CyberGhost VPN on the router.

1. First, visit the CyberGhost VPN subscription page.

2. Next, click on the Get CyberGhost VPN button.
