man netcat:
-s ADDRESS --source=ADDRESS Specifies the source address used for creating sockets. In listen mode and tunnel mode this switch specifies the bound address, and it is generally a good idea not to specify this, which causes net‐ cat to bind to a generic interface. In the connect mode, this switch is used to specify the source address for connecting to the outside world. Again, if it's not specified a proper address for the destination route will be used.
