## What it is
A set of build scripts that packages the WireGuard kernel module and wg/wg-quick command-line tools for Synology DSM NAS devices. It ships as installable SPK releases for DSM 6 and includes compilation instructions for DSM 7.

## Use cases
- set up a wireguard vpn tunnel on my synology nas
- install wireguard kernel module on dsm 6
- access my home network remotely through my synology nas
- run wg-quick on a synology diskstation
- build a wireguard spk package for synology
- replace other vpn solutions on a synology nas

## When to choose
- you run DSM 6 on a compatible Synology model and want a prebuilt WireGuard package
- you want the wg/wg-quick tooling plus kernel module installed on a Synology NAS
- you need a starting point and are willing to adapt the build scripts yourself

## When to avoid
- the project is archived and unmaintained since 2022, so you need ongoing updates or security fixes
- you run DSM 7, where prebuilt releases are unavailable and you must compile it yourself
- you need DNS, IPv6, or other features known to be unsupported or buggy in this packaging
- you are not comfortable manually recovering your NAS if installation goes wrong
