Automated bypass button clicks and pops

Hey guys!
I have the 4Dyne Multiband compressor automated from bypass to on.
It sits in the mastering chain.
It does miracles to the track but that comes with a price.
It pops when it turns from bypass to on, but strangely not vice versa.
This pop does not fit in the mix tbh.
What did i try to solve:
- if u know the device, i tried to automate the bypass buttons of the bands themselves, but that didnt cut it.
- i tried to automate the master volume of the device, but since its in the mastering chain, that didnt work out.
- i tried to apply it both as a send fx and as an effect on the several mix busses, but the magic only happened when it was active in the mastering chain; except for the popping.
Does anyone has the solution to this annoying fact?

Use Pongasoft's free A/B switch to route audio through and around 4Dyne, then automate the switch.
