Wireguard setup on Synology? Is this possible given Synology kernal version is 4.4.180?

[wiffleman]

Thanks for this - great community. Setup: Synology ds920+ on DSM7. Kernal 4.4.180 I have my arch-qbittorrentvpn working with OpenVPN, but am trying to change the protocol for the VPN to Wireguard and am running into issues; namely:

  2022-03-17 16:57:35,541 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output:
  [warn] WireGuard interface failed to come 'up', exit code is '1'

I have done some reading and believe this is attributed to outdated Kernal versions and I cannot seem to find a resource to update my Kernal appropriately. Therefore I don't think the device wg0 is installed on my Synology and therefore the WG service is not working.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started..?

I'd love to know if it will work after adding this:

https://github.com/runfalk/synology-wireguard

It provides the WireGuard kernel module and the wg/wg-quick commands.

Very curious as well... Maxing 35 MB/s with OpenVPN, wondering if wireguard could help me get closer to my 1Gbps connection capacity
