Description
Currently ipset support is for destination address. It would be great to support source address too. The number of iptable rules could be reduced and it allows dynamic update.
It's implemented in this post https://forum.openwrt.org/t/suggestion-mwan3-use-ipset-for-source-of-rules-not-destination/89820/3. Can it be incorporated to the main package?
