Repro Steps
In the WSL Settings Application, there is a networking mode named VirtioProxy.
But I searched https://learn.microsoft.com/, neither VirtioProxy nor networkingMode=virtioproxy have results.
Expected Behavior
If it is not available or deleted, it shouldn't be seen as an option in the WSL Settings; otherwise, there should be a document for it.
Actual Behavior
There is no any description about it.

Research direction
Start by checking the WSL Settings Application's VirtioProxy option and the Microsoft Learn networking documentation referenced in the report. Determine whether VirtioProxy is supported and intended for users; done means either documenting networkingMode=virtioproxy clearly or confirming that the option should be removed.
