I belive even for gluetun I had to add the WG kernel module.

I'm the author of a reasonably popular WireGuard plugin (https://github.com/runfalk/synology-wireguard) and in the next DSM version they are basically breaking all kernel module plugins without a migration path. A kind user has found a workaround and made a PR, but Synology have no interest in helping out with this (https://github.com/runfalk/synology-wireguard/issues/66#issu...).
