I have followed these two links to set up apt-get proxy. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6143 and https://askubuntu.com/questions/7470/how-to-run-sudo-apt-get-update-through-proxy-in-commandline meaning;

I edited /etc/sudoers to:

Defaults env_keep = "http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy DISPLAY XAUTHORITY"

and set proxy like this:

export HTTPS_PROXY="http://${hostip}:1080" export HTTPS_PROXY="http://${hostip}:1080" export https_proxy="http://${hostip}:1080" export http_proxy="http://${hostip}:1080"

but I still can't connect to my shadowsocks server. any thoughts?

  • How are you setting the hostip variable? I don't see any reference to that in either of the two links you posted.

  • Not in my experience, no. I might be missing something obvious, but a Google search for wsl hostip doesn't seem to indicate this either. Instead, you'll see a number of suggestions on how to retrieve the host ip. Try hostip=$(powershell.exe "(Test-Connection -ComputerName (hostname) -Count 1).IPV4Address.IPAddressToString"). There are some other, simpler methods (e.g. yourwindowscomputername.local or yourwindowscomputername.mshome.net), but they return the IP of the virtual NIC, and your proxy may not be bound to that address.

If you want a VPN on your WSL just install protonvpn:

pip install protonvpn-cli

  • Congratulations on finding the solution yourself. However, considering that your answer revolves around a VPN, and your original question around the shadowsocks encryption protocol, you may want to edit the answer to add more information on why you (seemingly) abandoned your original approach.

  • My initial question remains although I found a workaround that might be a remedy
