Configuring agent for android subsystem

Question

I was hoping to configure a proxy for my android subsystem, but the android subsystem doesn't actually follow the windows proxy settings!

I had to back out and try to set the android configuration options (com.android.settings) for the android subsystem, but I found that the default ip for the Ethernet adapter vEthernet (WSLCore) changes every time I reboot, is there a way or a registry setting to make it STATIC, and I found that some of the tools don't support getting the IPv4 address from the android Subsystem IPv4 address . . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.26.64.1 configured proxy (172.26.64.1:8080 configured in setup)

The proxy I'm using is the proxy mode of cloudflare warp (which I'm only using to skip some of the network restrictions)

I have both wsa and wsl2 installed on my computer.

Here are more details:

Version Windows 11 Professional

Version 22H2

Operating system version 22621.1992

Experience Windows Feature Pack 1000.22644.1000.0

WSA version 2305.40000.6.0

Hello there,

The Android subsystem you're referring to might be the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA), which allows you to run Android applications on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 device. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, this subsystem might not have been released yet, so I can't provide specific details about its behavior.

However, if you're experiencing issues with the Android subsystem not following Windows proxy settings, it could be due to various reasons:

Configuration: Make sure you've properly configured the proxy settings within the Android subsystem if it has its own settings separate from the system's settings.

Network Isolation: The Android subsystem might be running in a more isolated environment and may not automatically inherit the host system's network configuration.

Proxy Compatibility: Android apps might not always behave the same way as native Windows applications when it comes to using proxy settings. Some apps might not be designed to use system proxy settings, and you might need to configure proxy settings within the app itself if possible.

Updates and Changes: If the Android subsystem is a recent development or has undergone updates since my last update in September 2021, there might have been changes that impact its behavior.

Bug or Limitation: It's also possible that there is a bug or limitation in the Android subsystem itself that is causing this behavior.
