WSLg apps are disappearing when I connect to a VPN server with OpenVPN

[speller]

Describe the bug
WSLg apps disappear when I connect to a VPN server with OpenVPN. The processes of these apps keep running but no UI at all.

To Reproduce

• Run a GUI app under WSL2v2 Ubuntu distro.
• Connect to a VPN server.

Expected behavior
WSLg apps keep running normally.

Version information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 10.0.22631.2506, WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04, WSL version: 2.0.6.0
• OpenVPN version: 2.6.5
• OpenVPN GUI: 11.43.0.0

It seems that WSLg uses network connections to communicate with the Linux subsystem and these connections got interrupted on VPN connection.

To me it looks more like WSLg issue, no?

The builtin Windows VPN client doesn't cause this issue. This is why I decided to file an OpenVPN bug.

This may be related to a known WSL bug (e.g., see microsoft/wslg#1092 and ones linked there).

Apologies, yes, you are correct. I've deleted my comment.
