I would like to mention the last comment from a closed issue although there is as of August 2022 still an issue with this:
See post by @rehantoday in #4636 (comment)_

The solution he or she quotes does work. We then need to manually add the proxy, e.g. doing netsh interface portproxy set v4tov4 8080 172.24.133.133 8080 0.0.0.0

localhost forwarding should be automatic.

Last week, there was no such issues. It appeared randomly as mentioned in above closed issue by several people within this year 2022.

Any updates or fixes?

Running

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 listenport=PORT connectaddress=localhost connectport=PORT 
# or
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 listenport=PORT connectaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=PORT 

Don't work, unless I use the correct static IP, but WSL ips aren't static, meaning that I'll have to run this command on every wsl startup.

I did a tempfix by setting WSL with a static ip.

[Wladastic]

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=7860 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=7860 connectaddress=$(wsl hostname -I)

But it doesnt always work...
