#163: David Bombal: WSL 2 Networking

How do you access WSL 2 Virtual Machines remotely? I'll show you how WSL2 networking works and I'll also show you how to configure the proxy service on your Windows 10 computer to allow connections to your WSL virtual machines. I'll also explain the configuration of the Windows Firewall.

WSL 2 changes the way networking is configured compared to WSL 1. You need to enable proxy of traffic and you need to permit the traffic through the Windows firewall.
