I am running a console app in Windows 10 which has a self-hosted HTTPS server listening on port 44340. It's an ASP.NET Core website (Kestrel) and its perfectly browsable on the Windows side.
I cannot reach this port from within a Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) console running Ubuntu 18.04, testing with curl
.
I've tried adding a Windows Firewall rule for that port but it doesn't seem to work.

, as well as the two IPs I can see for my machine. One is the real NIC using DHCP and the other is a vEthernet adapter for WSL with a 172.31
address.
