wsl-vpnkit VS ExplorerPatcher

Mirrored network mode sounds quite a lot like what wsl-vpnkit does: https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit

This came from Docker Desktop for Windows, where they needed a solution for VPNs like GlobalProtect and AnyConnect that are often configured to drop packets for networks that aren't the main one associated with the VPN.

I'm going to wait a while to see how the new VPN stuff works out. Previously WSL2 didn't work with a Windows VPN without an extra tool ( https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit ), hopefully this might fix things, but not going to risk trying it in case it breaks everything.

https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit fixes that problem for me, and is less annoying than other fixes I tried

So i installed warp on windows and try to run go mod init to access few packages from my org private repo, and it says the repo not found, So i search and found that WSL 2 need this for Zero Trust to run on WSL 2 : https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit , I've download and started the service but it still can't access the repo, does anyone has this problem when developing go with zero trust ?

There's also a reference to https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit, which looks like a much more ambitious effort to deal with this.

If it works at all like WSL, you might want to look at wsl-vpnkit.

It's not a proxy, but would give some idea how to shim into the middle.

there's a fix for that! https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit

Have you tried wsl-vpnkit?

> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table

It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.

Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution

ExplorerPatcher

I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen

That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
