The WAN side NIC will always be the IP that is used to "go out" because it is
the one routed properly for the Internet.

You can't stop the IP not going out, because the information has to be public
so packets can get back to you.

If you want to hide the IP, you have to NAT the IP upstream, or to give the
WAN NIC an IP alias.
