Source IP in auto-generated packets in destination VPN Tunnel

I know that when it comes to networking, a host uses its IP defined on the outgoing interface as a source IP, when the packet is self-generated.

There is an internal implementation logic that defines the selection of the interface as the source, when a packet is generated by the firewall. I think it uses the interface with the lowest index number, that is enabled and active.
