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).

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
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.
How about this...I turn off the Router function on my Nighthawk C6900 Modem/Router combo and purchase NETGEAR - Nighthawk RAX45 AX4300 Wi-Fi 6 Router which has built in VPN support and hook that to the modem to use as my Router then I would have VPN for my NAS and everything else correct?? or do I still need to instal a VPN client on the NAS still ????

Look at chapter 10 here. https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RAX45/RAX45_UM_EN.pdf
Nighthawks include an OpenVPN server that gives you secure access to your home network when you are away from home. As we've tried to say before, that is very different from using a VPN to prevent your ISP from seeing your internet traffic. The OpenVPN feature in the Nighthawk can't be used to connect to your vpnunlimited service.
There was a list of routers you could use here: https://www.vpnunlimited.com/help/manuals/vpn-routers I haven't used any of them, so I have no recommendation on how they'd compare with your current router.
