Question

I am wondering if there are security implementations around using WSL2 and the windows 10 firewall as was highlighted in this article

Answer 1

Hi @38173320

Thank you for your question and reaching out.
I can completely understand That,
I have seen the Article that you have pasted, But in my experience
There is no such information About this.

You can provide feedback

The WSL product repo issues enables you to:

Search existing issues to see if there are any associated with a problem that you are having. Note that in the search bar, you can remove "is:open" to include issues that have already been resolved in your search. Please consider commenting or giving a thumbs up to any open issues that you would like to express your interest in moving forward as a priority.
File a new issue. If you have found a problem with WSL and there does not appear to be an existing issue, you can select the green New issue button and then choose WSL - Bug Report. You will need to include a title for the issue, your Windows build number (run cmd.exe /c ver to see your current build #), whether you're running WSL 1 or 2, your current Linux Kernel version # (run wsl.exe --status or cat /proc/version), the version # of your distribution (run lsb_release -r), any other software versions involved, the repro steps, expected behavior, actual behavior, and diagnostic logs if available and appropriate. For more info, see contributing to WSL.
File a feature request by selecting the green New issue button and then select Feature request. You will need to address a few questions describing your request.
