@mio-19 you might want to look at these su options:

-m, -p, --preserve-environment      do not reset environment variables
-w, --whitelist-environment <list>  don't reset specified variables

Basically, preserve the environment when su-ing!

I don't think networking logs would be useful for this issue

2.0.14.0 version also has the problem.

This is not a wsl problem, you must configure su/sudo tu propagate env from your user when doing sudo:

echo 'Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy https_proxy no_proxy"' | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/wsl-setup

With su you could pass -p
