local area networks.
This tool streamlines the installation process of wslhostpatcher.

, you can execute it via npm:

Note: This command needs to be re-run for each new WSL instance.
Recommendations
This tool is intended as a quick and easy workaround, but it's important to consider more permanent solutions.
If your setup allows for it consider using netsh
to add a port proxy:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=<yourPortToForward> listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=<yourPortToConnectToInWSL> connectaddress=(wsl hostname -I)
For more information, check out the Microsoft documentation. Alternatively you can set up mirrored mode networking.
