OMG, we really have seen everything already, haven't we?

Jason, what do you think about adopting the RFC2181 Source Address
Selection algorithm for wireguard?

If I am not mistaken that would mean in practice:

   if orignal_pkg.ip_dst == one_of_my_ips then
      return_pkg.ip.src = orignal_pkg.ip_dst
      return_pkg.ip.dst = orignal_pkg.ip_src
   fi

For me that sounds like a sane approach (aside from
my very simplified algorithm).

Best regards,

Nico
