wsl-port-forwarding

This script can be used to handle the forwarding of ports between your Windows host and your WSL2 machine.

This is usefully because WSL2 distros cannot have a fixed IP address so binding port after each reboot of them is necessary.

Prerequisites

• Python3 installed on Windows host.
• net-tools installed on WSL (sudo apt install net-tools).

Usage

1. Launch a terminal (bash or cmd) as Administrator.
2. Clone the script on your Windows machine.
3. Get the name of the WSL distribution (wsl.exe -l).
4. In python script, fill the PORTS_TO_FORWARD variable with all ports you want to forward.
5. Run the script: python3 wsl-auto-forwarding.py "Name of you WSL machine".
