Zerotier it was a great solution for all VPN locations until i found out the performance of Wireguard.
Installation of Wireguard to Synology looks like was not that easy i was expected (just upload the app).
After i found a github guy who explain how to compile the application from docker i had the chance to test the performance.
Installation steps:
1. Install docker and gitserver
2. Commands to to compile in /root
git clone https://github.com/runfalk/synology-wireguard.git
cd synology-wireguard/
docker build -t synobuild .
docker run --rm --privileged --env PACKAGE_ARCH=avoton --env DSM_VER=6.2 -v $(pwd):/result_spk synobuild
3. Go to /root/synology-wireguard/WireGuard-0.0.20190702 , in my case and
4. synopkg install WireGuard-avoton-0.0.20190702.spk
5. Go to Synology webpage and find for Wireguard and start the app.
That’s it.

Performance?

Same topology as here.
Iperf3 from Oradea to Timisoara (Synology is the sender here, he is doing the hard job or encryption):

To be honest, i’m pretty impressed. I checked zerotier but is far, far away. Like 20-30% of Wireguard throughput, somewhere at 100Mbps up/down.
