Server 2012 R2 VM as a very simple gateway (but not NAT) for home network


as title says: i'm hoping find tips setting windows server 2012 r2 system (which happens vm) software gateway - say, switch routes traffic between 1 network segment , - without having configure nat.  on 1 side of gateway entire home network - couple desktops , laptops, server couple vms - , on other, nothing isp-provided router / modem.

a little background make goal clearer: live in rural area awful options broadband.  my 2 real options satellite , verizon lte (what used called "home fusion").  the latter have, , it's 4g cell phone bolted side of house.  i have 20gb / mo bandwidth limit, , overage fees exorbitant.  i have limited options configuring provided hardware - can't disable nat on antenna / router, , not offer snmp can't directly monitor our total utilization.  so, goal route traffic house through ws2012r2 vm, can monitor and, ideally, throttle / block traffic needed prevent overage fees.

what i'm looking windows service act gateway/switch - passing network connections between network adapter on home lan network , on wan / internet side of network, without performing address translation.  so full chain vzw antenna <=> vzw router <=> server nic1 <=> wan virtual switch <=> gateway server <=> lan virtual switch <=> other vms / server nic 2 <=> physical devices.  in chain, devices on both sides of gateway server have addresses in same subnet (192.168.1.x).  my hope can use model route traffic through gateway server without ending double nat.

the question is, how configure gateway server route traffic between 2 nics without installing nat feature of [routing and] remote access role?  is possible?

huge in advance suggestions!

  cannot route between devices in same ip subnet. connect network segments in same ip subnet use network bridge, not router.

   set private subnet between home network , nat router (using server lan router), bit dmz, makes routing trickier.

  honest, double nat. has worked me no noticeable lag.
