Expose WSL2 port to the network

In order to expose WLS2 port to the network, for instance for development purposes, you need to run 2 steps in a Windows console (not inside WSL2) as administrator.

First we need to get the WSL host IP:

wsl hostname -I

Grab the first IP address i.e. 172.26.90.110 and use it to expose the port, i.e. 8080 (replace by yours):

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=8080 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=8080 connectaddress=172.26.90.110

That’s all folks!
