How to configure with multiple WSL distro?

[philippe-granet]

I have to work with multiple WSL distro running at same time.
Is it possible to use your script with more than one distro running at same time?

Only one can run at a time, I think. At least you will have to configure different IP, named pipes etc..

What I do is to just run the vpnkit stuff from a single distro, and then other distros connects through the same by simply configuring them to go through the running vpnkit "nameserver":

/etc/wsl.conf:

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

/etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 192.168.67.1

(may also add a second line with "nameserver 1.1.1.1" if you want this as fall-back).

A wsl.exe --terminate <distroname> or even wsl.exe --shutdown is usually needed for the DNS configuration to be properly applied.

It will work with multiple WSL 2 distros. With WSL 2, all the distros run within the same VM and share the network namespace. When you run wsl-vpnkit in one distro, you'll see that the eth1 and the updated default route in ip route will show in all distros. The only thing left to do would be setting the DNS server as @albertony mentioned.

If you're using the wsl-vpnkit.service script, you would want to use your default distro to run this or edit the script to specify the distro in the wsl.exe command.
