Windows WSL and VPN - how to connect WSL to windows VPN when windows is connected to VPN?

Personally I've tested wsl-vpnkit:

• https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit

This is quite popular and solves the problem.

Below I show some examples.

service status

xxxxxxxxxx

wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit --cd /app service wsl-vpnkit status

start service

xxxxxxxxxx

wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit --cd /app service wsl-vpnkit start

Examples of two above commands:

xxxxxxxxxx

// check status:

PS C:\Users\john> wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit --cd /app service wsl-vpnkit status

Service wsl-vpnkit is not running

​

// start serevice:

PS C:\Users\john> wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit --cd /app service wsl-vpnkit start

​

// check status, again:

PS C:\Users\john> wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit --cd /app service wsl-vpnkit status

Service wsl-vpnkit is running

How to setup? From the github read me of wsl-vpnkit:

Setup

Download the prebuilt file wsl-vpnkit.tar.gz from the latest release and import the distro into WSL 2. Running the distro will show a short intro and exit.

Copy
