How can I set up a VPN that will use the client IP address for the connection? (lemmy.world)

I want to set up a VPN that uses the client's IP when sending data out of the VPN server. I am able to use either OpenVPN (open-source edition), or Wireguard.

I don't think this will actually work. If data looks like it's coming from the client IP, the return packets will take the wrong route and go directly to the client instead of via the proxy/VPN.
