How to config a proxy for WSL2

(Updated: )
WSL2
,

I met some problems when I downloaded some files from GitHub on WSL2. I cannot download files when I connect to GitHub directly. So, I try to use a proxy to solve the problem. I have tried serval solutions which do not work.

Now, there is a way to solve the problem with the following content.

Preparation:

  1. Open the function of Allow LAN in your proxy software.

  2. Get the port(eg. Clash’s default port is 7890) of the proxy.

Solution:

  1. Add the following code at the end of .bashrc

    ipip=$(grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | sed 's/nameserver //')
    proxy_port=7890

    showproxy()
    {
    echo ''
    echo 'Show Proxy:'
    echo "http_proxy=$http_proxy"
    echo "https_proxy=$https_proxy"
    echo "ftp_proxy=$ftp_proxy"
    echo "ALL_PROXY=$ALL_PROXY"
    echo ''
    }

    proxy () {
                    export ALL_PROXY=socks5://${ipip}:${proxy_port}
                    export ftp_proxy=http://$ipip:$proxy_port/
                    export http_proxy=http://$ipip:$proxy_port/
                    export https_proxy=http://$ipip:$proxy_port/
                    showproxy
                    curl -vv http://google.com
            }

    noproxy () {
            unset ALL_PROXY
            unset ftp_proxy
                    unset http_proxy
                    unset https_proxy
                    showproxy
            curl myip.ipip.net
            }

    proxy

  2. Enabling environment variables

    1
    source .bashrc

  3. Now, you can use the following command to activate proxy and deactivate proxy in shell.

    # activate
