I wasted a day learning this the hard way and also managed to subtly bork the perfectly fine WSL1 install I had.

Yeah I’ve been looking at the same thing. You can do a tcp port redirect . I forgot the syntax, I’ll have to go through my notes.

Although the “cheat” I guess is to create a wsl1 instance to run sshd

Consequently you can’t easily run a SSH or web server under WSL2 that can be accessed from another machine.
