      Hello!

      How can I use Windows Subsystem for Linux applications via winsock?

      For example, Firefox is running in Ubuntu, and I want to run it through a VPN. Which application should I specify in Allowed Apps?

      Also, I thought to configure it via Socks5Proxy :
      Socks5Proxy = 192.168.0.2:1080
      but it looks like winsock doesn’t start at all.

        At present, the WireSock VPN Client is unable to detect processes operating within containers, including those on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Consequently, you cannot configure the WireSock VPN Client to selectively tunnel applications running within WSL, such as Firefox in your particular situation.
