Unfortunately that option is very specifically disallowed as it's
considered as trying to hide the source IP.<br>

<div>Eddie,</div>

<div>When experiencing similar issues, the recommended
solution I received, from this list, and that seems to work
best is a VPN for affected traffic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With dnsmasq, iptables or reverse proxy, and a dedicated
split-tunnel vpn, I shunt affect traffic over the
split-tunnel vpn without end-users on my local network even
knowing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Seems to work fairly well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best of luck.</div>
