Hi there,
Indeed you can use the Static Routes Operator:
Your operator setup looks correct, but have configured a NAT GW Droplet as per the documentation detailed here?
Also do you get any specific errors? And did you follow the steps from the README.md file from that repository or did you follow a different guide?
Best,
Bobby
