I think I could use these commands: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 514 -j MARK --set-mark 13 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -- mark 13 -SNAT x.x.x.x I tried, but I had this problem on first command: "Couldn't load match `MARK':/lib//iptables/libipt_MARK.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Are the commands above rigth and is it sufficient to copy libipt_MARK. so into :/lib//iptables/ directory to solve my problem?

Local generated packets also enter POSTROUTING. You may want to match source ip or .. you can mark packets in mangle OUTPUT, and then SNAT in POSTROUTING matching only the mark value with mark match.
