Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Many people work from home with WSL2 and connect to a corporate networking using VPN.
The issues has been that either you choose WSL1 or you have to go to the office.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Making WSL2 network connectivity seamless work with any VPN solution.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
The only stable way i've found is https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit and Windows 11 Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1992). It works but on startup the system will "freeze" for ca 1-2 minutes.
**Question**
Is VPN support on any of your roadmap ?

Research direction
The issue concerns WSL2 networking with corporate VPNs and cites wsl-vpnkit as the current workaround. Start by reproducing the reported startup freeze and comparing WSL2 connectivity with and without a VPN; done would require a defined, stable approach that works across the VPN solutions in scope.
