fwmark, mangle table's OUTPUT chain must be used. Mention this chain as
alternative to PREROUTING.

This target is used to set the Netfilter mark value associated with the packet.
It can, for example, be used in conjunction with routing based on fwmark (needs
-iproute2). If you plan on doing so, note that the mark needs to be set in the
-PREROUTING chain of the mangle table to affect routing.

You have two choices:
* Set the mark in filter OUTPUT chain => it does not affect routing.
* Set the mark in the mangle OUTPUT chain => it _does_ affect routing.
Are we on the same page?
