Hey guys, after hours of trying, I finally made it work for me.
Version: 0.9.2
Wifi Settings: Bind socket to any address and Randomize MAC Address both checked
Online: Indirect Mode

The key point is that your ROM needs to be patched, the normal ROM downloaded from the internet will not connect.
Patching is very simple. Download the WfcPatcher tool from here: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/WfcPatcher/releases
Extract the .exe file to some directory, drag your .rom file into the icon of the WfcPatcher.exe, one command line will pop up and suddenly disappear.
The patched rom will appear in the same folder of the original rom, with an additional (NoSSL) at the end of the filename.

When configuring the DNS of the WFC, I used: 95.217.77.151 (both primary and secondary), the network name is MelonAP
First, you can test it. Open a new cmd window and type:

nslookup nas.nintendowifi.net 95.217.77.151

If the server is accessible, you should see something like this:

Server: static.151.77.217.95.clients.your-server.de
Address: 95.217.77.151

Name: nas.nintendowifi.net
Address: 95.217.77.151

Then it worked, I tested both Mario Kart DS and Pokemon Platinum and they are working fine.

Is your rom patched? Does the rom name contains "(NoSSL)" at the end?
What happens when you try to test the connection in the game? Is it successful or does it return errors?
