Probably the easiest path is to install a VPN router. https://www.vpnunlimited.com/help/manuals/vpn-routers

My Router is not listed aa a supported router. I have a Netgear AC1900 Model C6900. I purchased this Router becuase it was Garanteed to work with Xfinity, so even if I could put DD-wrk or Tomato on it would it still be garanteed to work with my internet pervider

I've never owned a Synology. But my response on VPN Unlimited needing Debian 10 came from here: https://www.vpnunlimited.com/help/manuals/linux And I know OS-6 uses Debian Jessie (which is Debian 8).

Not sure you could install it on the C6900. It'd probably be better to configure the C6900 as a pass-through modem (which is definitely possible), and use a second router behind it as a VPN router. The assumption here is that you'd want privacy on all your device connections, just not the NAS.
If the desire for privacy is specifically related to transmission, then you just run that on a PC with the VPN Unlimited client installed.
I have my VPNunlimited on my PC but every now and then depending on wedcite I turn it off, so yes this would be for the NAS if possible plus if the NAS is doing it's thing it will not slow my PC down if I need to use it at the same time. Hey I gott a Idea would there be a way to use a 2nd Router on my Network and have it be a VPN router so whatever is hooked to it will be Hidden and everthing else is on there own?? My VPN acount can do up to 5 Devices so that covers My wife and I, so if a VPN router is easer then configuring the NAS with VPN then use a VPN Router just for the NAS????
