I just wanted to share my setup with others that may be looking to achieve the same thing. Essentially I was looking for a way to use a VPN for my torrents/Download Manager while still being able to access my NAS from the outside. After much searching and testing, I've got it working. Here are the steps (I'm using IPVanish and a DS214play running DSM 5.1-5021)
Open up your Control Pannel and create a new VPN connection
If you are using IPVanish and can figure out how to get OpenVPN to stay connected for more that 30-40 seconds let me know - I had to use PPTP instead.
Connect to the VPN. Assuming you connected correctly, you should be able to set the Service Order of the VPN by clicking on the Service Order button inside Network Interface.
Once you set the service order to the VPN on top/first, all the traffic from the NAS will now go through the VPN. While great for torrent security, this will cut off remote access to your NAS from outside your network. Here's the fix (not sure why this isn't better documented)-
Still in the Network Settings click on the general tab, you should see somthing like this. The gateway should be your VPN address, DNS can be whatever (I have my router with a fail-back to Google). Now click on the Advanced Settings button.
Make sure both options are checked here in the Advanced Settings.
Apply everything and check to see if you can now access the NAS from the outside; you should be able to. All of the Download Manager traffic should still be going through your VPN. To find out for certian what IP address the Download Manager is using follow these instructions.
Full disclosure- I'm not quite sure how this works. I think the Advanced Settings feature(s) makes it so that if a request comes from the WAN side to the Synology LAN IP, that the Synology will respond using that same gateway instead of the VPN. Anyone who knows more please chime in.

Important note- I'm fairly sure this will break any DDNS services on the NAS (like the built-in Synology service you may have set up) because the service will report the VPN IP instead of the true IP. An easy work-around is to use DDNS on your router instead. That way your firewall can still direct traffic to the NAS regardless of the VPN in use on your NAS (Router may have been set up using UPnP when you set up the service - be sure to check firewall settings thoroughly).
This is my first Synology and I must say I'm impressed (though I'm coming off of an 8 year old WHS server that just died). Not getting this to work may have been a deal-breaker for me as I'm looking to cut the cord. With this VPN solution, the Download Station's RSS automatic download feature, Plex, and some SickBeard file moving mojo, I may have found my golden egg.
The only pitfall I've seen are download speed issues, though I think that's more a factor of IPVanish and having to use PPTP instead of OpenVPN. If anyone is able to get OpenVPN to work or knows of a faster VPN for torrents, please let me know.

VPN for torrenting and Usenet
I recently got a Synology 918+ and am using it primarily as a Plex server. I typically get all my downloads from Usenet but have been wanting to get into private torrent trackers so I have even more options (and no takedowns). Unfortunately it seems like there isn't a way to only route torrent traffic over a VPN on the Synology (if someone knows how to do this, that would be awesome).
Unfortunately, routing all traffic over VPN slows my Usenet downloads from a max of about 25MB/s to about 6MB/s which is obviously unacceptable. I have gigabit internet for a reason! I've tried using PrivateInternetAccess (OpenVPN), VyprVPN (OpenVPN), and ExpressVPN (IP2Sec), connecting to servers in my city, with the same result in all. Does anyone know how to solve this speed issue? Vivitar mini digital camera software download.
